Modest Proposal To Companies: Let Your Customers Respond To Your Emails - Kill no-reply@ (medium.com)
An anonymous reader shares a blogpost: Dear way-too-many companies, if you're allowed to send me an email, I'm allowed to send you an email. You just sent me an email and I have a question. Don't make me hunt for a way to ask it. Email already has a built-in way to do that -- reply. Whether it's good news or bad news, whether you're an established company or a startup, your customers will love you more if you let them reply to your emails.
Dear customer:
Thank you for your reply.
We value your input.
This is an automated reply to let you know that your email is 276,709th in line to be answered, and we will get to it as soon as possible.
Your estimated wait time is, well, you don't want to know. You really, really, do not want to know.
Sincerely,
Marvin, your robotic email automated response robot.
Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.
I saw the title and worried this was going to be about eating babies.

Buddy, Jews attacking New York would make as much sense as you attacking your own mosque.
