But believe including a simple "thank you" for posting would suffice.

I don't think he was trying to codify - maybe more just saying "I'm 
posting these to the wiki - feel free to use (or not use) them at your 
pleasure :) I've thought of doing similar things with my auto responses 
but of course everyone can use their own methodology :)


Best,
Joel
