On behalf of President Bush, thank you for your correspondence. We appreciate hearing your views and welcome your suggestions. Due to the large volume of e-mail received, the White House is unable to respond to every message, and therefore this response is an autoreply.

Thank you again for taking the time to write.

On behalf of myself, Jesse Dyen, thank you for your autoreply. I appreciate hearing from an automated response system, which leaves me confident that my views and suggestions are welcomed and valued.

Thank you for taking the time to ensure that your autoreply was grammatically correct.

While I admire the consistency and trustworthiness of your identical autoreply message, I would appreciate a slightly more human response from President Bush. Is it possible that you have an autoreply message that offers at least some variation from the previous one?

Thank you for taking the time to consider my request.



...I am still awaiting a response.
