But the original request was for text message corpus that is *not* "a
collection of someone's personal (and/or family/friends') messages."

Are text messaging ever not a collection of personal messages?

I can't help but wonder if a negation of personal text messages is simply a
corpus of text messages fit for reading in the work context. Wouldn't that
be work emails? Patent negotiations sound like a subset of that.

Perhaps the originator needs to narrow down the requirements: what do you
mean by text messages that are not personal? If you only want non-personal
content, wouldn't any corpus do the trick? Why text messages?
