swarm-list Mailing List: as to complaints of too much traffic on this email group

[Gerald Przybylski (gtp000000]

    Hi all,
    
    I hope this email serves to make the problem better rather than
    worse.
    Itself it's an off-topic submission that isn't actually swarm
    business, 
    which is what this email group is for. 
    
    We're excited about the sudden uptick in swarm announcements, and
    anxious to replace our dead-outs. When haste prompts us to respond
    to the first mail in a thread, the announcement, rather than taking
    an extra few seconds to see if the thread ended with a swarm
    placement possibly hours ago,  dead threads get reactivated.  
    
    Eleven swarm announcements today should translate to about 33
    emails, not 56. 
    The long threads really stick out. 
    
    Please take a few extra seconds to follow threads to the end before
    responding. 
    Please avoid reply-all when person-to-person emails get the job
    done. 
    Please try to limit traffic to the business of connecting swarm
    calls with members especially during prime swarm times.  
    
    This graph of time-of-day vs swarm-hotline call rate may help.

    We're about 20% of the way through the season. 
    The next few weeks will be pretty crazy with email traffic if we do
    our best. 
    Let's continue to try to do our best to keep it sane. 
    
    Thanks
    Thanks to everyone who has been able to respond with swarm
    relocation. 
    
    Cheers
