How would having at least 1 point per domestic QSO change that?
Let me look into the crystal ball: Opprotunity to work some 2000 stations more, 
work some stuff when bands are dead to other directions, more points, more fun, 
more participation, busy low bands at night, chance to get into world top 
listings. Me thinks, it would benefit everyone.
I am suprised that you mid-to-westerners are not screaming for that change, but 
keep harping on easterners.

Enough, I will go and assist my XYL with Christmas preparations, hang some long 
wire lights and enjoy some Christmas brew by the fireplace and see how children 
are doing.
