And if everyone on the list were running such software? I don't know about
you, but I don't want hundreds of "click here for me to get your email"
notifications because I've decided to post to a public list. 

Additionally, spamming in order to stop spam (if you're confused as
to why a C/R system is spam, keep in mind that spam isn't inherently
commercial in nature) doesn't make much sense. In fact, many people
consider it quite hypocritical. And what about all the spam you get
that has an innocent person's email address? Have you been on the
receiving end of hundreds of C/R emails because one of your domains
was used to send spam out?

And please explain how an automated response makes someone feel like
they aren't being ignored. Personally, I feel like I haven't been ignored
when the person I've written to takes the time to hit reply, type at least
a few words, and hits send.
