E-Mail Auto-Response

One of my favorite Shouts & Murmurs in quite awhile, E-Mail Auto-Response. Excerpt of reasons for not hearing back:

• Thinking about the matter gives me a headache.
• Thinking about the matter takes longer than forty-five (45) seconds.
• Thinking about the matter is simple enough, and takes less than forty-five (45) seconds, but, when combined with all the other e-mails in my in-box, it creates a synergy of matterdom, exacerbating the headaches mentioned at the beginning of this list.
