They had no control of when it arrived, and thus, did not sit at the mailbox waiting with baited breath for it to arrive. It got there when it got there and THEN they opened it and went through it. Maybe a network boundary or computer boundary of send/receive times set in place - secured by passwords maintained by a 3rd party - would reduce the CrackBerry syndrome. I won't have a Blackberry for this very reason. There will be plenty of email to deal with when i turn on the computer - I don't need them pestering me at will.
