I'd say 'unharnessable' does connote wildness, and perhaps that is a descriptor a bit unfair to saddle the postal services with. Some of our local services, though ...? Notice that we're talking about services alleged to serve here - I wouldn't call a lion 'unharnessable'. Then again, I'd choose 'beyond our control' here. | |
