Actually the connections from Dublin to the rest of Europe aren't so  
great that it's possible to fly back friday evening for everyone. In  
my case (Madrid) I'm staying until saturday to attend the RRG session  
that runs until five.

What might be illuminating is to to a quick poll on the RRG list so we  
can correlate home region with:

- flying home after RRG on friday
- flying home after leaving RRG early on friday
- flying home saturday after RRG

And then of course the same for the extra sessions on friday in  
Minneapolis.
