Will be interesting to see if this makes it better or worse.
I'd suspect some folks (I'm thinking buyers here, but could be sellers too) who come from long distances might decide it's not worth a long drive/plane fare/etc for a day and a half in April.
So much for my thought that the "survey" was one step of many. I guess there is no point in answering the email now... 
Interesting that for members the setup is still shown as Thursday 12-5 for the Friday-Saturday option. I can easily set up my whole single table in the one hour of hall access before the meet starts on Friday, but those who need more time than that will still have to be there on Thursday afternoon, it seems.
While I'm sure I'll still be there, I'm not sure what I'll decide about bringing stuff to have a table. Only an hour on one day to walk around the dealer halls after members' halls close is a big negative for me.
