We feel your pain. A stud like yourself should never be single, but for whatever reason, your overclocking mojo and wicked high framerates have failed to score that lucky lifelong mate you know is out there. No problem, that's what dating sites are for. But how do you manage the inevitable flurry of responses you're sure to receive? After all, you did include a photo of your custom build and a CPU-Z screenshot, right?
Of course you did, and this is just one of the many scenarios where a canned response would come in handy. Think of the time you could save by not having to reply to each solicitation individually.
"Hi. Thanks for your interest in my personal ad (who can blame you?). As you might have surmised, I do get an inordinate amount of responses. In order to save us both some time, please reply back with a few specific details, including your hair color, cup size, favorite food, and any special talents you may have. Please don't forget to attach a recent photo. Good luck!"
Because not everyone should receive the same message, and some none at all, Gmail's new 'Canned Responses' feature lets you create automated messages using filters based on keywords, sender, recipients, and more. How groovy!

What happens when my auto-canned response gets an auto-canned response from you which makes me send out another auto-canned response....
Thats happened to me with Lotus notes at my old job where an email with many recipients had 2 people on vacation at the same time. For some reason Lotus notes did a reply all instead of just a reply for its auto respond.

First a drunk-mail filter, and now automated canned responses....will the hits never stop?
Find me another company that knows it's customers as well as Google obviously does. Go on, I dare you.
