Well, I don't work for FASA, don't know anyone at FASA personally, but I do
know this from the publishing world: on the paper I work at, we are consistently
there later than we had anticipated. If we think we'll be done at midnight, it'll
be closer to 2 am when we finish. Things happen. And it's a consistent thing (of
course, if we think we'll be done at 2 am just like last week, we'll be done at 4
am.) So my point is, well, I really have no point, just an observation.
