Intolerance is the highest level of stupidity and inbred thinking.

No one here relieves enough PMs to warrant the use of an auto-responder, unless you have salmon or gold colored text. It honestly irks me when I get an auto-responder because I read that as "your PM wasn't worth my time".
Granted, there are those people that just have it go off automatically whenever they get a PM come in, and I find that just as annoying. When you call a person, and get the answering machine, that's fine. When you send someone a PM and get the answering machine, well, you already sent the message, so why do you need to know that you're leaving a message?
The only time I can warrant the use of an auto-responder is in the case of a prolonged absence. If I go on vacation for a while, and I know I won't be able to access Bnet, then yes, I turn it on. I get plenty of questions regarding things I'm involved with on here, and it's nice to let that person know they won't be hearing back from me. Then they know I'm not just ignoring them.
But in general, there is no reason to use your auto-responder 24/7. It's annoying. I hate sending a few PMs and then having an inbox full of junk.
