The first rule of Mark-Time is you don't talk about Mark-Time...

If "as soon as possible" means 4-8 weeks at MtGox, what does "soon-ish" mean?
I would say more like a "turning point-of-no-return"... how is closing all transactions and your website a turning point?

I harshly agree, ever watched Highlander? Immortals really have a differant concept of time, Mark's not immortal, he thinks he is though, So lets calculate at His time
Multiply by three?
I relatively agree with your agreement, but only because time is relative.
Relative to what? Well, to Mark ofc.

I think relative Mark-time is one decimal point. So, if you think "days", then in Mark-time it is "weeks".
If you think "weeks", then the Mark-time relativity states "months".

I think we should look at this from another perspective.
In Mark Krabapples dreamland he is immortal. Immortal people tend to have a different estimation of time compared to the rest of us.

So the question you should ask your self is, how fast does time pass for the immortal Mark Krabapples?
I think we need to write some software to show people how Mark-Time works.
