Of course, once the first email is lost, the second is just as likely as
any other transmission to be lost (perhaps more). %-)
That reminds me of a scene from "The Life According to Garp" (Yes, yes.
I *know* it was a book first. I watch way more movies than I read
books.) Garp is shopping for houses, and an airplane crashes right into
the house he is looking at. He agrees to purchase the property on the
spot, reasoning that the odds of that happening *twice* are
astronomical. Looking at the smoldering wreckage, he hugs his wife and
tells her "We'll be safe here."
