Hey!  This is why God created our wiki.  Get thee to it, create a
"Night Shift" page, and that's where people should go to sign up.
If they don't, bug them here after a few days.

Wikis solve a huge number of the problems inherent to e-mail lists,
such as people changing their minds.

For what it's worth, *everyone* sleeping on Friday night was an
explicitly strategy this team has used in the past to win hunts.  It
works when the hunt has bugs and other teams get stuck during the
night.  It doesn't work when the hunt has no bugs and when other
teams have enough person-power to keep pushing solidly all night.

Perhaps we've entered the new world.  (We certainly have in terms
of team size for *other* teams.)  But just wanted to remind folks
that we didn't go to sleep by accident or dumbness -- it was a
calculated strategy that failed.
