The is a Load of horseshit from the House MIS  staff ...
I've carried larger loads on a dual-processor Tatung built

Handling this kind of traffic is the whole reason for being of House 
MIS, not some act of God.

order it was received"


The House is limiting e-mails from the public to prevent its websites 
from crashing due to the enormous amount of mail being submitted on 
the financial bailout bill.
As a result, some constituents may get a 'try back at a later time' 
response if they use the House website to e-mail their lawmakers about 
the bill defeated in the House on Monday in a 205-228 vote.
“We were trying to figure out a way that the House.gov website 
wouldn’t completely crash,” said Jeff Ventura, a spokesman for the 
Chief Administrative Office (CAO), which oversees the upkeep of the 
House website and member e-mail services.

The error message in its entirety reads:

“The House of Representatives is currently experiencing an 
extraordinarily high amount of e-mail traffic. The Write Your 
Representative function is therefore intermittently available. While 
we realize communicating to your Members of Congress is critical, we 
suggest attempting to do so at a later time, when demand is not so 
high. System engineers are working to resolve this issue and we 
appreciate your patience.”
