I have encountered a similar problem where the server was having problems with multiple messages.
Two things come to mind and I should note that I haven't done this with Silverlight, only regular WCF. There is a limit to the number of concurrent sessions you can have active. This limit is 16 I believe out of the box.
You can see how to change it in this answer.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
