Yes, the Evil that is automated messaging is creeping into eMail. Parts 4 & 5 of me orrery turned up, but no sign of parts 2 & 3. So I writes a long winded eMail, detailing payment dates, promised ETAs and clarification of postage dates and causes of delays.
Do I get a response - NO! I get a pile of arse saying "Ooooh, have you checked our FAQ? If the answer isn't on the attached FAQ then please use the reply buton and a code monkey will be woken up to respond".
Aaarrrggh! Why can't they read the eMail I sent first and prod some call centre bod to find out where me parts are? What's the point in writing in, only for them to send you a message telling you to write in?
BAR STEWARDS!!!!
Grrrrrrrrr!
