I'd consider something like checking the Internet 
between 12-3 AM (my time) for one dealer and then 
5-7 AM (again, my time) for another (on top of 
actually living my life during the day) each and 
every single day for the rest of my collecting 
life to be far beyond inconvenient... it's (like 
I said) unrealistic.

Even when I'm not getting wasted, I need to 
sleep.  And if someone who wakes up 3 hours 
earlier than I do, wouldn't they have an 
advantage over me for the odd-hour updates (like 
the two hypothetical updates above)?  It doesn't 
necessarily have to mean that they catch the 
updates right when they happen, but they still 
are more likely to acquire those cels than I 
would be.

As I mentioned a little further down, it can be 
considered that people with typical lives (who 
have to go to work or school during the day) may 
be the ones who benefit or get hurt in comparison 
to others due to where (or more specifically, 
when) they live.  The issue applies more to 
normal folks like them.

I consider that those collectors who are slaves 
to their computer (or be willing to be awake at 
odd hours on a daily basis) should be disregarded 
in this argument, because they'll have an 
advantage no matter where they are (and of 
course, time zones wouldn't matter to them).

If I knew a big update was going to happen at 3 
AM on a certain day, I would stay up for it.  But 
for every day of every week?  Come on, now...
