Canned Responses

[breakdownbill]

I understand what you mean, but as someone who was new not all that long ago, I really appreciated them. I just wanted to hear from someone, and typically they were pointing me in a good direction (an old post to read, etc)

I don't think they are impersonal, especially when you are still on moderation and anxious to get a response.

Being a newbie my self I'd have to agree with Autumn, because you are crying out for any help at first, and just need any contact. I certainly wasn't offended by them, because there's enough good stuff / advice in the can to get past the impersonal element to it.

Just as long as we don't start getting canned laughter when you open up your own thread, now that I would have a problem with ;-)
