The archive acknowledges your enthusiasm.

It acknowledged it the first time. It remained broadly appreciative the second time. By request seventeen, the mood had changed.

THAT IS ENOUGH ENCORES.

Too many requests have arrived within a short period. The request channel is now saturated and everyone would like you to give it a minute.

TOUR MANAGER’S NOTE

One encore is flattering.

Three suggests genuine enthusiasm.

Seventeen begins to resemble a denial-of-service attack with rhythmic clapping.
Please wait a while before submitting another request.

The bar is still open. The merchandise table may or may not accept cards.

The band is not coming back.
