2. You don't want "to send millions and millions of data packets to EE every second" - it's illegal. If you did, you'd be shutting Experts-Exchange down, and no one would have access to it. (It's also not done by email, but that's besides the point.)

Information is sent between computers in "data packets" - groupings of 1's and 0's. If you purposely send more data packets to a server than it can handle - "flooding" it - the server will for all intents and purposes shut down - denying its services to anyone who tries to use it.
