  In this case, the timing is simply not possible. That would mean, here, you shouldn’t have done it.
  
  I disagree. Letting such a good idea go to waste just because of a time-zone issue is a clear case of the perfect an being enemy of the good. (I do think it makes sense to edit the title to say April Fools, now that it’s no longer April 1, though.)
