Robert Gibbs, White House press secretary explains why your email may not have got through…

Annoying though this must be, one senses a commonality with a typical business problem encountered by employees of many large organizations. It will be interesting to see if the much vaunted transparency will extend to revealing how they will solve this problem (within security constraints of course..).

According to some reports it was back to the telephone, photocopiers and sneakernet today…

Sound familiar?
