I just say what's in my head, rather than copy from the Internet. You get a better view of people's opinions I think.

Do you mean quoting a previous post in replies here on the forum, or are you talking about private messages to other members?

If it's the latter, I have no idea why they'd copy and paste something. But in here, quoting a particular part of a previous post helps mark what (if not who) the person replying is responding to.

My theory is either laziness, or lack of imagination. Either way, once they click send, they have shot themself in the foot.

Personally, cutting and pasting is easy. And 9 times out of 10, your talking to someone that's not that interesting. But if someone has a real opinion...I'm down for fresh conversations.

I asked a guy once why he copy and pasted, he basically said the same thing as Rob said. He told me I didn't answer the first time, so he figured he's just cut an paste the same message and maybe one day I would finally respond to him. It was actually kind of sweet in a way.

I prefer that they send a different message, but I can understand why they do the cut and paste thing. It takes a lot of time to write out 10, 20, or more messages, and if only one or none respond, it would be really frustrating.

Maybe in the beginning they did write out the message, and after not getting good results decided to do it the easier way.

Oh. okay. Then my guess would be they're just "casting a wide net," probably sending the same message to a number of recipients.

Actually, "casting a wide net" is too nice a term for it, since I think it's kinda lazy. If somebody can't take the time to individualize a message to someone, based on something the person that they're addressing said in their profile, or something in the other member's photo(s), then they're just spraying Cheez Whiz into the wind*.


*I think that's a legal term. I once heard a lawyer use the expression on Law and Order. ("Atonement," Season 6, Episode 18 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0629164/quotes Quote at the bottom.)

hello I really like your profile
oh ya which part exactly?

hello I really like your smile
I ain't smiling

I really like your eyes
my eyes aren't showing

that is an obvious cut/paste job you send out to anyone that might respond
let me know when you can take the time to send a real message to me

so he sends a " hi"
if you cannot take the time to write more than a one word response
then I will not take the time to respond bigsmile
