I don't know if other members of this group are constantly receiving
automatic answers to all postings on the list, but this is tending to clutter
up my mailbox with messages like: "Thank you for your mail. It will be
answered as soon as possible".
While this is a pleasant courtesy for individuals, on a listserve it really
does add a lot of unnecessary mail, and for people who pay for online time,
it is a waste of money.
Would it kindly be possible for list members not to use auto answering
facilities? I tried using it once and my auto respond replied to someone
else's auto respond which auto responded to my auto response. etc, endlessly
until I manually halted the sequence! This could become totally ridiculous
and bog down entire user groups if we all decided to use auto responders on
listservs.
