TRICK QUESTION!  Shame on you, sir, shame!

Metric craptons, as a unit of mass, are all of course equivalent!
HOWEVER, a crapton of e-mails, because of the flamebait and other
heated exchanges, has substantive thermal expansion -- on a scale, it
WEIGHS less (in fact, a few threads become so heated they achieve
NEGATIVE "weight" i.e. buoyancy, and float off in the direction
indicated by whoever has the most hot air).  Thus the educational
links are "heavier".

Also note that trolls introduce a SQRT(-1) term into the weightiness
of any argument, making all such discussions of relative weight
purely-imaginary.
