What is the home time zone for the forum? Wouldn't the time of 3:43 AM be significant if we are considering live persons or automated entities?

I believe that July 4th in 2009 was a Saturday. If the home time zone is in the continental United States (Eastern time thru Pacific) then much of Europe would have been 7 to 10 hours later, and therefore during the day, instead of the wee hours of the morning. If the home zone is elsewhere, like GMT, then it is possible that the primary likely awake time for live persons may be somewhere else on the planet.

Also, I am not sure, but MAMS is frequently near that date, and in 2009 may have been, or may have been imminent. If that is the case, there may have been mega hits looking for info on an event about to happen.

I don't have any real data to support my opinion that it is rather unlikely that you would have that many live hits at 3:43 in the morning from live persons, if that is their local time, yet I feel confident it is true just the same.
