While I mostly agree with what you are saying, it doesn't hurt to be
honest about reality here. I get between 6 and 12 "vacation"
responses for every post I write on this list. I'm sure everyone
else does too. That's not 5 people every 2 years.
Second: off-topic while dear to my heart to stop, is harder to gain
consensus on. Even harder to get consensus on what the right answer
would be.
Everyone agrees that autoresponders are bad, and the solution is very
simple. Since the situation is simpler, sometimes its easier to
focus on something like that and get it done.
