Wherever e-mails to HarperCollins staff are concerned, I pretty much have to post to remind everyone that there is a moderator here enforcing the rules. I'm also saying that in case anyone decided to take up your idea, but put it into action earlier.
And I didn't realise it was so close to the time when I started making that post. The day really has flown. I guess time sure flies when you're, uh... Really bored?

Time flies when you're so bored that you start daydreaming and get lost in thought.
Anyhow, I'm not going to email HarperCollins, mostly because I don't have my own email address, and would have to ask my parents for permission to use one or the other of theirs. They probably wouldn't let me.

*asleep*
I think the idea of looking over the internet would be really fun. But if there's time between each clue I will cry.

If it's not up today, I know I won't be able to sleep tonight. Or if I do, I'll dream about ASOUE.

If it's not up today, I know I won't be able to sleep tonight. Or if I do, I'll dream about ASOUE. I imagine that'll happen to me to. I dreamed about the last three books, in some way, while waiting for their release. I remember dreaming about seeing TGG's cover, my dreamed version of which turned out to be quite different from the genuine article, but I digress.

Yeah, same with me. As long as it updates by 3:00 (5 pm for those in hte east coast), then I'll be content. If not, well then the world will have one more insane person in it soon.

42 minutes and counting. I think I'll re-check it again, although it probably hasn't been updated yet.
Edit: It hasn't.

Not long. I'm going to start becoming hyperactive in the new few minutes. I get really obsessed about these things, especially when the book is released, and I'm waiting for it to arrive in the post.
Those few days drive me insane. For a short period, my life evolves around ASOUE. And then I get the book and all is well.

Still no update. All night I sleep and when I come back, there's still no update? Oh well 10 minutes to go. Also if you don't believe me on the e-mail account you could ask lauren, she got the same reply.

Of course, one must consider the fall-out if it does not update at 5, and I am forced to leave before it does so.
Well, if such a situation does come to pass, mark any spoilers with the word "SPOILERS" in bold at the top of your post, and wait for Snicketfires to come and sort things out. Hopefully, though, that won't happen. It would be very, very unfair.
Yes, I've fallen into one of my deeply pessimistic moods...
