current", it will be _no_ current as the fuse blows."

No, I made no such statement.
However, if you use too much current, a fuse could blow.

Agreed, yet some even keep ALL the e-mail that they have EVER in their WHOLE

A number of large corporations, such as Microsoft, could explain why. The key
word is "discovery."
