It would be interesting to know the reasoning for starting on a week day 
versus weekend.

I agree. It makes sense to leave a few days early, as that would put you
close to the begining of a work week. I thought about posting that on
the TSE list, but let's just say that things are at the point where I'm
not willing to get in the middle of these arguments. Based on how things
are going with everything on there, I figure it is better to stay neutral.
