Yes, exactly.  I cannot give any other reasons for this other then what 
I have said.  My need is to close the tape after x hours of no writes. 

You said you did not want to mix weeks, and I do not want to mix days.  
I guess I could make a Monday pool, and a Tuesday pool, but that seems a 
bit much, but that might work.  Right now I just have one Daily pool and 
one Weekly pool.
