Excerpt:

CNET editor-at-large Brian Cooley explained on "CBS This Morning" that, "Email is highly transparent. We think it's this secret thing that just goes from me to you over a private pipeline. It does not. It's like this giant letter carrier's bag that we have access to depending what kind of authority you are or what kind of access you have to someone's account." He also said, "You've got to think about it as something you need to be comfortable with anyone glancing at and being able to read."

Key:

• Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
• The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
• The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
