Yes, thisis a form response--similar to the replies from an "autoresponder" you get when you email the president. In my experience they all indicate that they want to reply to THEIR constitutents, and ask of you are one you should include postal address. They get an *emormous* volume of mail, "e" and otherwise, and most letters I get are obviously form letters, that tell me whet I wrote about and much of what I already know about the subject, and probably told them in my letter! It takes a concerted and repeated correspondence and a real struggle to personalize it in order to get beyond the form responses, sadly.
