Agreed.  So how many other messages have been delayed, lost, forwarded
incorrectly, or...sold to third parties?

(Note that I'm not saying Syniverse did that last one.  What I'm saying
is that an operation like this inevitably affords plenty of opportunities
for employees to engage in a little freelance capitalism of their own
or for third parties to simply help themselves.)
