When is the best time to pose a question, for maximum visibility and responses?

Every online community has it's own demographic. For example, if you want your eBay auction to be at the top of the new or closing auctions right when the most people are viewing it, then you want your auction to either close or open on Saturday morning or Sunday evening, in the time zone where most of your bidders are likely to be. And the list goes on, for every community. So, in terms of Yahoo Answers, when is the best time to post a new question? I suppose also that the answer to this will vary greatly depending on the CATEGORY of the question. For example, perhaps people answering questions in the Programming & Design sub-category of Computers & Internet are most likely to be here at some point during their work day (hopefully during the coffee break, or lunch time, right guys?). Questions on Family & Relationships are perhaps more popular during the evening hours? So what's everyone else's take on this?
