Intercontinental working (was: RE: OT : RE: Translators and Word vs FM)

[Steve Rickaby]

No sooner had I written 'The difference in tome-zones can be made to work to your advantage... This constitutes a sort of double-shift system' than I read the following in a book I was editing:

>Sometimes the coauthoring is face to face, at other times via e-mail. For example, the bulk of the ...[books]... have been written by authors living in separate countries and on different continents. Often these author teams leverage the differences in time zones to conduct 'round the clock' writing sessions!

Think how practical this would have been before the Internet.
