Birthday greetings

**Lenny Eiger** · 23-Jul-2012, 11:02

I don't know how anyone else feels about this, but the birthday greetings from forum software annoy me. Today is my birthday and I got a letter from the forum wishing me a Happy Birthday - from 4 forums, actually. There are people here who appreciate my participation (others who do not, of course). I would be happy to get greetings from any of them (on any day). However, the software does not care about me, it's just a database smart enough to send out an email. Getting this kind of wish from a piece of software is exceedingly hollow.

Is this something that can be turned off?

(That would be my suggestion.)

Thanks,

Lenny

Happy Birthday, Lenny!

I appreciate your participation.

Happy birthday Lenny. I feel your pain every time a microwave oven tells me that my food is ready. It doesn't "know" the first thing about cooking nor even what, if anything, was placed inside it. All it "knows" is that it got a turn-off command!

Happy Birthday Lenny!
Why don't you change your birthday to a different date on each forum, that way a computer could wish you a happy birthday when it's not your birthday....4 different times a year
