RANT: One wonders if corporate muckety mucks even READ their emails!

I wrote to General Mills to express my deep dismay at their choice to kowtow to the Illinois Family Institute and drop advertising for "The Book of Daniel".

Enclosed in the box is their response, and my original is boxed inside the box...

Regarding your dropping advertising for "The Book of Daniel". I, as a now former consumer of your products, am dismayed at your kowtowing to the religious and cultural intolerance of the Illinois Family Institute. Such intolerance is a scourge on our society, and should not be encouraged. I will no longer be buying any of your products, until such time as you reinstate advertising to "The Book of Daniel". :

3. Does the term 'auto-responder' mean anything?

No — they don't read them.

4. I got the autoresponder a few days ago

This was actually not an autorespond...

So, do I go ahead and respond to him by asking him to actually READ my original? or do I leave it alone?

5. Have you read The Lazlo Letters?

If I remember correctly there's a whole volley between Novello and the Mr. Bubble people that went like yours did. He got a letter like that in response to one of his, and then he kept writing them hoping to have his question answered which I think was "Why does your box say 'do not get wet?'" or something like that. I'll have to dig my copy out to see what it was but here's a link:
