Right; you can be specific with time blocks IF you have a
well-established system, and you don't have any problem taking care of
the slowing X factor.

With this one, if the block is going slowly,then you don't update the
sign. If people are going to get in line at 2:00 for a 4pm start (like
the dealers did last time), you limit that initial sign to (1-20) and
you don't upgrade the high picket until you start serving; your line
is no more than 20 people, or how ever many you feel comfortable
making the range.

We *do* assume con-goers are !stupid. That they can find someone to do
simple math. That someone with ticket 400 won't get in line when it
says 'now serving 1-20'. And that they can visit a couple of times and
calculate the time they should come back to check. Or, if they can't
do any of these, that they can ask someone for assistance.

Gotta start somewhere. :)
