You (and I'm assuming you're the person who came up with this) need to think about it from the perspective of email recipients, because they're the ones who are going to be directly affected by this button. You don't say

I've opted-in to be friends with someone on Facebook. I've opted-in to follow someone on Twitter. I have not opted-in to be in someone's contact list on Gmail. That's the big difference.

The article makes the point that A/C in conjunction with fans can reduce the amount of energy needed to reach the same comfort levels. You don't need to remove the A/C if you install fans, but you can set the A/C thermos

Recording a 4-6-3 double play isn't about keeping score either, it's about tracking detailed statistical information about every play. That's kind of the point of the article: baseball has standardized notation whereas tennis

You could plot the average performance over time, which would show not only how well or poorly a hotel does in general, but how it weathers high-volume events like conferences.

Your local library isn't open weekends? My library's open 9:30 am - 9 pm on weekdays, 9:30 am - 5:30 pm on Saturdays, and 1 pm - 5 pm on Sundays. Those hours definitely don't strongly conflict with 9-5 job hours.
