With all due respect, if you want to have a conversation and the Open Thread is not yet up, you can always use the Klatsch section of the previous Salon.

With the same amount of respect, you miss the point.

Please explain the point then. I gave a response to Helen - the OTs are not often late and we aim to get them up by 3pm. Sometimes this isn't possible.  

This is a community blog and everyone is free to create their own things within it or to start discussions elsewhere or carry on the previous day's OT if the FPers are bit late getting to a computer.

If you want to develop a conversation, doing it in the fag end of a Salon while we're waiting for OT isn't the same.

I'm not complaining, I'm very grateful for what you guys contribute. I'm just saying OT tends to be up about 2 - 3 hrs after optimum from my point of view.

Are we going to have another round of people debating what the time of the Salon or the Open Thread should be for their own personal convenience like last time we moved them around? Never mind me, then.

Nnnno, I think Helen is saying that the 3pm GMT time was OK and wishes we'd keep to it, not realising that we failed to keep to it because we just couldn't be around to post it at the right time.
