Say we pick Thursday. Okay, EFF & Adobe meet on monday, nothing happens.
Protest is on for Thursday. Fewer people can make it because people
already made arrangements to be there monday, not thursday, but still
enough people are ready to go. Then, Wednesday evening Adobe calls EFF,
says "We want to meet with you tomorrow morning, but iff you call off the
protest." Okay, we reimplement your plan, reschedule for the next
Monday. At Thursday meeting, nothing happens, so we are to protest on
Monday. Saturday, Adobe calls EFF...

Rinse and repeat, until the movement has dwindled. This is not progress
for our side.
