I agree with you latter suggestion.. just as upcoming judges don't generally attend club social functions the night before judging, so they could also set themselves to "no mail" for the weekend.. they can easily catch up with the archives. That allows the majority of us to still see up to the minute accountings such as Evan's, and allows the few judges who may be judging the next day's shows to remain impartial. Obviously, this is a "honor" system, based solely on ones' integrity.
