Well, I'm back from vacation... and since I haven't read this whole thread
yet I'll put out fired as I go along (I heard this one's rather nasty...).
Read through for my comments...

on-call is 24/7 - but during regular business hours there's typicall no
reason to use it, there's more than one staff online :)

Based on our volume and staff, there's currently no immediate need for
24/7 support. We are moving to weekend support very shortly, likely in
the next month or so.

You'd be surprised how little volume we get on weekends - typically 25% or
less of our regular daily volume (with Mondays, of course, being the
busiest). We do appreciate the need for weekend support, and as mentioned
above are moving in that direction.

This too is in the works, being worked out in the background. More
information on 'premium paid support' (something along those lines) will
be released in the near future.
