I'm trying to work in a broader context - I find OOO replies annoying in any situation, not just those I get as a result of my (or others) posting to a list. Certainly sending OOO or vacation messages to a list is heinous, but even those I get from people with whom I correspond directly are quite annoying.
Why don't they just set someone in their organization to cover their emails for them? That would seem to be the better part of customer service, I would think.
