I'm sorry if you didn't understand "relying" as I meant it. I'm not a native speaker, so my assumption of the meaning of "relying" may have been wrong.

I'll try to elaborate: yes, there are of course certain things that you cannot avoid. That's why I meant you should not "rely"/"depend on the cloud without any alternative backup" on the cloud being available. Redundancy, if your service is crucial!

If you're a small company, and cannot go to your building for a day, well then I hope you're not that important so no big damage (financial or otherwise) is caused. Just enjoy your free day ;-) But if there's a bomb threat in, for example, a hospital, I surely hope they have some kind of backup plan!

Cloud as an alternative mechanism, or maybe even the primary resource for your site -- great, why not! But please don't just throw everything into "the cloud" trusting on the belief that the cloud's operator is impossible to fail.

You said 6 words in your original post. And now you're trying to suggest I was to get the above 166 words from the original 6?

You raise perfectly valid and interesting points. It's just a shame they're not the parent comment because then they would have invoked some thoughtful discussion.

It's a shame your sarcastic reply derailed the conversation.

Fair call.
