    Hey

    do you know when you get an e-mail from a company and you know that most of it is full of buzzwords and phrases and has just been copied and pasted eg. they click a button and every e-mail finishes with their good-bye phrase.

    Do any boards users utilise this and just paste these pesages, similar to templates on mobiles??

    Do you mean an email signature?

    I use one on all my work emails. It has my name, job title, company web address and contact numbers.

    E-mail sigs are common enough. Don'y use them myself but nothing unusual about them. Oh now I get what you're saying, like Mail Merge? No, I never use them.

    No do you know when you contact some customer support e-mail and they reply with phrases like

    We look forward to hearing from you

    and loads of other big yokes.

    Do you utilise American military replacements for perfectly good words like "use"?

    haha... I broke up with my last girlfriend because she was only utilising me...

    No need for it. I have my sig, and that's enough for me.

    In what way I don't think you got what I was saying,
    I was talking like about one day when I was on a gambling helpline an d I asked a question like
    when do i get my winnings on the Cl final coming through,
    and insantly got a reply that was fivr sentences long,
    so clearly the operator at the other end just had to push one button to automatically respond.
