Re: Survey deadlines on weekends

I think people who don’t want to fill out surveys on Saturday or 
Sunday don’t need to, but for other people that might be the only way 
to contribute.

Also Saturday and Sunday is not weekend in every culture/religion.

If we don’t want Saturday/Sunday because people who didn’t get to it 
on Friday should not have a bad feeling working on weekends, then end 
the survey Monday noon Central or something. That gives editors the 
opportunity to start processing results on Monday and see if new ones 
come in.

Just 2 cents, totally not feeling strong about it.
