Does the "response rate" only reflect initial emails? If there is a conversation, then it's going to end eventually, so the fact that you don't respond to an email that says "okay" wouldn't really mean much.

#12Those graphs were really confusing. The email volume line graph. Are those data points per hour? every half hour? How can they have a seemingly continuous line graph for this histogram-style data? The "<20 words" graphs.. they don't look cumulative but the labels make them seem like they are. The correct labels should be, for example, "20 <= w < 30".

We don't have a response rate graph yet. We do have a time before first response rate graph. Fred is comparing the total number of emails that he gets vs he sends from/to certain people, which is not the same as response rate.
