S'a lot of facebook users that either can't or won't use those methods, unfortunately.

Well, that smacked me round the face.

Goddammit, I suddenly feel a lot worse.

Meh. Comfortable place t'live, enough means to do stuff he/she enjoys, work that apparently isn't that terrible, if they're still sticking around. No noble prize? No great contributions to humanity? Big goddamn deal. Not living up the expectations others had of th'person? T'hell with 'em. Sounds pretty decent t'me.

Stuff like that just gets on my bloody nerves. Great honkin' mass of humanity does worse off than that and suddenly you're a lesser person because you could, maybe have done better? Somethin' about it just gets under my skin. Y'aren't some kinda' waste just because you're not the bleedin' ubermensch. S'almost worse because the bugger in question starts buying into that tripe. Only thing wrong with the critter's that it hasn't figured out that its measure of happiness doesn't have to be set by comparison to someone else.

Yeaaah... and with compartmentalization, folks (especially up top) tend to be even more aware of what's been taken care of by which department, or at least where they're sending the information off to. If someone's not seriously in the loop there, bad shit can entirely too likely go down. Money starts getting siphoned, important things start disappearing piecemeal, etc, so forth, so on. At the very least, you track everywhere your own compartment is sending stuff, just to cover your own ass when things screw up.

But nah, in this case it looks like they're just using, "We're goddamn lazy." as their excuse. Word given in the article is that they apparently don't have a means of automatically searching through their internal email, and that's apparently reason enough not to go looking for stuff. 'Cause, y'know, someone couldn't get off their arse and start reading, or dump the raw data or whatev' and search that. Bullshit be bullshit, and that line o'response be full of it.

Yeah... imagine if that kind of excuse worked for, y'know, thieves. "Sorry yer honor, I thought I was moving my friends' stuff for 'em. They tol' me the address an'GPS lead me here and I assumed it was thissun! Honest mistake, coulda' happened t'anyone." Then y'just hit the same street until everyone but the friend is pilfered.

... but yeah. If it was a group of people doing something like that, who would you jail? Start with the on-the-ground movers and work your way up? Maybe it's about time we started letting some legal liability weasel its way through th'liability protection incorporation offers.

A Roman tyrant and a witch and a teacher? Vector, you have achieved every profession I've ever dreamed of.

It... it's just the aloe version of Ivory. To the extent that means anything. It's just got that... y'know, particular color and viscosity.

Family consultation has revealed I may be experiencing my first ever genuine sinus headache.

This is goddamn excruciating. Maybe around forth or fifth on my list of painful experiences, which includes surgery (convalescence would be second) and kidney stones (numero uno).

Still. Bright side of excruciating pain, sinus headache may mean it's not my teeth imploding, and would probably explain why one of my eyes have been incredibly bloodshot. That's somewhat comforting, since alternative explanations might be worse.
