I am in week 2 now on my way to SFI success and I would HATE automatic answers or pre-written ones. I only used the SFI greeting message myself once as I am a co-sponsor. The other mailings I sent in group mailers were personal. I love to build a relationship with people in my downline and using automatic messages does not help. It takes a little bit more of your time to write a message in your own words but I'm sure this will pay back. Every person deserves personal attention, we are not standard. Being personal also means the people you sponsor feel good because you show interest in how they are doing. Having a great team (downline) is so very important, you all benefit from it. So I'd encourage you to invest time in the people you sponsor or co-sponsor.
Not sending automatic answers also prevents you from making mistakes, the risk is there... and it would be very painful. I think automatic messages are great for newsletters and in response to squeeze pages but not in the downline business. A good leader doesn't work on auto pilot ;-)
