Yep, I got tired of it as well. Instead of me replying with a 'thank you' , I give them a smiley ;). I haven't had anyone say 'np' to that hehe.Yeah, I use a smiley as well, works out better. :P
What happened to my Postcount?!? You need to spam a lot to change those ranks & before your successful in doing that the mods catch you & your gone. :-w Use help & advice next time.
At the moment, the way you write is more annoying than the autoers. It's just difficult to read like this. I hope you get the basic idea. Can't say I'm annoyed with them personally, but if you cut yews & do other things which also involve the autoers, then every type of autoer could get annoying.
I try to ignore them as much as possible. If there arises an opportunity to make a witty remark/comment I try that. Usually they have a comeback which doesn't make sense to what I said. Ultimately, it depends on what kind of 'noob' we're dealing with here.
