I wonder if you are aware of the reasons for this scheduling. Do you know the options that they have? Did you think of the problem that begat this solution?</div>

Now that you have offered that absurd speculation, go find out the reasons, the problems they had to solve and share that here so we know you actually did what you should have done before. Hopefully you will learn something from this. What was your input last
time regarding Near Fest? Do you remember?</div>
