Better Late Than...

A slightly outdated (or really, really early) question from Liat Clark:

Although Yom Kippur has just passed and the selichot-saying days are over, I was wondering: why is it that selichot are said specifically late at night or very early in the morning, rather than together with maariv or after shacharit?


Thanks and great question.  In fact, so good a question that Gabrielle Hiller asked it last year and we re-ran it earlier this year (don't worry, you just got here & have a good excuse to having seen it).  Does that fully answer your question?
