Abstract: A system and method of (1) creating a temporal queue in which responses to multiple client requests received simultaneously, or nearly simultaneously, by a server computer include indications of periods of time such that subsequent rounds of client requests are staggered in time, and (2) notifying system users of the status of their messages with respect to the temporal queue. A log-in request is transmitted from a user to the server computer. In response, a message containing an estimate of the period of time required for prior threads to conclude is sent. The user is notified of the remaining time left in the temporal queue. Upon the expiration of the period of time, the thread continues with further messages.
