I know it's not supposed to be a scientific measurement, but I just wonder what is considered "obese" in this context. The author was very fixated on this concept but never defined it. Relative to what? Sorry, it's just that it was the major focus of the article, and that sort of thing bugs me.

As for the point of the article, yeah, I think everyone here, British or not, fits into that category

We're the digital equivalent of the 1600lb man who had to have a wall removed from his house when he had to go to the hospital.

Scarily enough, I still have all of my personal email in my mail archives back to 1995............
Not sure if that is a good thing or not

surely the increase of storage capacity is equivalent to the universe expanding; we're merely growing to match that expansion.

there, i feel so 'v-skinny' now.
