[edit] public safety vs. technology

I'm not sure this is the appropriate article to be at the main heading response time. A Google search for "response time(s)" related to police, fire, or ambulance returned 1.8M hits, while one for those related to web or Internet pulled in 3.4M. But since this is a tech-heavy topic (and those are very general search term qualifiers), that's to be expected. More interesting is that the term is also used as a variant for reaction time in biology. Given the wide number of possible topics, I'd like to see this be a disambiguation page and response time (public safety) and response time (technology) be set up (the latter being simply a page move of what's here now), with a See also link to the biological definition at reaction time. There's also things like Round-trip delay time (redirected from Response time (telecommunications)), which is slightly different than what's here. Another alternative would be to merge that with what is here, but I'm not sure what the correct common name title would be.

This would also make it much easier to check bad links, as anything at Special:Whatlinkshere/response_time would need to be evaluated, rather than having to scan the list periodically by eye for bad links. Thoughts? -- nae'blis 22:07, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
