Talk:Email loop

Infinite Duration?

I think some rewording is in order. The article states: "In some cases, the e-mail loop could last an infinite duration."

The "In some cases" part implies that we are talking about specific physical scenarios here, not abstract theory. In reality, it is highly unlikely that an e-mail loop will continue infinitely, outlasting the server, the country and the planet where it originated. "Infinite" seems a tad overreaching. How bout: "In theory, an e-mail loop could continue for as long as the hardware and software components of the system continue to function." Neltana (talk) 22:04, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Or just say "In theory, the e-mail loop could last indefinitely." ... it's technically not as precise, but it's less convoluted and adequately close to the same meaning. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 22:10, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Okay, that makes sense. I made the edit. Neltana (talk) 13:59, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
