P.S Should this be locked?
No need to, nothing wrong with dis thread.
But aye, I do agree with you. I try not to reply with the same thing constantly - I don't like the repeating myself to the point where it seems insincere or hollow. I do, however, keep a notepad on my desktop full of quotes of things that I may need - shortened urls, easy explanations to complex subjects. Because, hey, some of these things will take 20 or so minutes to make a full and decent reply to, and I really don't want to retype that every time it comes up. Same goes with PMs, though I do try to take care to personalize those in some way so I don't sound like I'm a robot with "Hello subject name here, and thank you for contacting me about subject of concern here". Because that's GlaDos' job, not mine.
On the note of repeating a one word answer through every thread, though... that's when it can be taken as spam, and spam on the forums is no different than spamming in the game, really.
I don't think that post count is such a big deal. Too many variables involved. So I'm just going to keep putting along and get to somewhere when I get there.
