Some EX02-Statistics; Timing discussion

Hi Martin,

for me, three days were just fine. Announcing the exchange dates
beforehand was very helpful, as I am absolutetly drowning in e-mails at
the moment. Again, thanks for your effort!

We had major issues with mail during heavy snow two weeks ago, and I am
sure there are still some of our letters missing. That, and Brexit
trouble, as Brian suggested, might indeed have been a problem for the
exchange this year. Seeds arrived within a day, and I will surely turn
to the List to help me growing the material from seed exchange into
material for a future bulb exchange.

All the best,

Nils (In the middle of Germany, where after a mild winter we went to -18
°C two weeks ago to +18 °C one week ago to 8 °C today. Daffodils,
Snowdrops and Crocus in the lawn didn't mind, a lot of pots were moved
around, and some things might have been lost during the -18 °C)

As there have been discussions about the time window of 3 days (which
was missed by 4 latecomers). Please share your opinion: should it be
prolonged for future exchanges? Sidenote: We already have a rule to
include both at least one day of the weekend and one working day, and
the start of the time window is announced to eligible participants
through a personal notification email in case they don't regularly
look at the mailing list.
