And if we're not mistaken, shouting and moaning rarely resolve complex problems. And so The Register would like to offer its own pub-inspired solution to all this. It's not going to be perfect, but it's a damn sight better than taking everything to the courts and firing staff. Two email servers. One corporate, one private.
All corporate matters have to go through the corporate account.
All private matters through the private account. The corporate account is monitored in its entirety - every word can be read if so wished. Any abuse of it is punishable. The private account can be monitored only for traffic. Staff are warned if their use of it is excessive.
