Want to quickly make your friends feel cheap and less than human? Start using automated responders to thank them for what they do or share!

If I choose to connect with someone, it requires an explicit action on my part. I know I'm doing this. It's the same for the person who chooses to connect back with me. Because I see this immediately as a status update or similar notice, I don't need an additional, automated response saying something like, "Hey, Dave, thanks for following me! I look forward to hearing from you!" C'mon

The unchecked use of auto responders undermines this trust, just as questionable claims and pitchmen undermined the credibility of advertising.

A: First off, thank you for the praise of my physical superiority. I am the Nietzschean ubermensch personified, so your praise is well justified. As to submitting pics for inclusion in the book, if you are the photographer who took the pic, email me a hi-res copy of the pic and if it works, I will email you back a release form.
