Thank you very much for asking, not many people do these days. I have had a look at your website at http://www.cardiganidiosyncraticreflection.ihouse.sg and the stories sound very nice, perfect for reading to children during these cold evenings...

Last comment was more of a question, i guess. You ask how can harmless email bring the internet down? Well, to put it in simple terms it's all about the amount of traffic that goes on. There are only so many cables that the signals can use to travel around our globe ad between the computers. And there are only so many signals that can go through a cable at any one time. Try and compare the internet to a roads infrastructure. There are only so many cars that can fit on a road at any one time. Imagine now if everybody with a vehicle comes out and starts driving. There would be a chaos! (Hold on, that is London early in the morning!) No, on a serious note, if everybody starts sending billions of emails and people are accepting them (which means more traffic as the signals are often sent back to the sender to say that the message has been approved), this could rediculously slow down the internet. There were already few instances of this 'Internet Comngestion' happening over the past few years (or decades), this is a first one I came accross when doing a search on Google: http://edition.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9809/11/internet.congestion/ There are various bodies and software applications that are installed on the web servers that monitor traffic and perform congestion maintenance, see http://www.boston.com/business/technology/articles/2008/03/13/analysts_predict_internet_congestion/ and tere have been many articles and white papers written about it, see http://nms.lcs.mit.edu/cm/ I hope this helps:) Hello guys, thanks for all your comments.

Thankfully, I googled her name and found your post - It seems like anytime a generic response is given to a specific topic - it is just plain spam - Anyway I went back and unapproved, marked as spam, and deleted Andrew Boldman but it's probably too late. Thanks again for taking the time to alert folks to what to look for from potential spammers.
