Reply To: The Death of the "Normal" Minyan

On weekdays, I think the most significant factor in minyan choices are the modern realities of scheduling for work and family. Obviously, if you have to be at work at a certain time and rely upon scheduled public transportation or have to pick up kids or drive car pool later in the afternoon or be home in time to be with the family for dinner and homework, someone davening from the amud who shows off his chazanus at weekday minyanim or waits for everyone to finish the amidah can be frustrating.
