Personally, I thought it was a rather weak attempt at a rebuttal. I
don't think a single person will have a problem if I perform any routine
admin requests that come in over the weekend on Monday morning, and
obviously as per my platform, if it's any kind of urgent I'll just get
it to it right then, no problem, so someone who can only communicate
over weekends should be covered. I would say this is by far the most
imaginary problem I've seen in all the platforms that I've read.
