Thank you for what you wrote about my English :-)
i agree that there are people here all day long and its very useful when you need something, but still if i work here at 10 AM its 3 AM EST ...
another thing to understand is that the build season here is very different then in the US.
for example i can mention the shipping of parts , extra price to pay (shipping to this side of the world is expensive) adding Israeli VAT 16.5% +customs (changes depending on the exact part you order) and everything.....
or converting every unit to a proper system of metric units ....
or arguing about the translation of the rules.
and sometimes to be honest the extra hour of writing in English and waiting for someone in CD the see it in the middle of the night in you're side of the world is avoidable by gust calling a different team in Israel.
i think LV is a good choice because of the support he can get from other teams in the area, this is very important in a tough season like the one FIRST have in israel
