To all those who operate automated messages saying that you ain't home this week, this month etc.
That is not a useful communication. If someone needs action on my part, they don't need to know whether I'm in or out, they need to know when I have completed the action item. If people don't need any action from me, they don't need the message either. If I'm out of town, I arrange for somebody to download my eMail and check whether something needs to be done. Suggest you'all do the same and stop this inane sending of "Not Home" messages. I have experimented with a system that detects automated messages and returns an automated message saying that further automated messages will not be delivered. It works but tends to overload mail reflectors. Ciao, Vic Boersma
