Cancelling Out Your Creativity

Awhile back, I wrote about how I've discovered that people write one introductory message and then use it over and over again.  I know users do this because although I delete a message from my inbox, if the same user messages me again, their previous messages show up along with the new message.

In fairness, the site doesn't save your sent messages for very long, so unless you have a phenomenal memory or keep notes, it is possible that you forget you've messaged someone.  I actually have become rather hesitant to message some users if I know I've viewed their profile before but am uncertain if I actually messaged them.

I've recently gotten second messages from users.  But what has surprised me about these guys is that their original messages appear to have had some semblance of effort put into them.  

Back during the last week of May, "Rohiiitk" wrote,

"Good Afternoon Gorgeous..!
Happy Back 2 Work Mondayzz ... :)
How's your 40c Hot sunshine day coming along beautiful..?
Btw..! You have very beautiful eyes and a splendid smile :)
Any plans for this patio evening!?:)
Ro"

Then more recently, "Rohiiitk" wrote,

"Hey Gorgeous,
Happy Toonie Tuesdayzzz :)
How's your sunshine Tuesday coming along beautiful..?
Btw..! You have very beautiful eyes and a splendid smile :)
Any exciting plans for this patio evening..?;)
Ro"

So it wasn't an exact copy and paste message.  But still close enough.

Meanwhile, back on June 8, "shaneram1" wrote,

"Congratulations !!! You been selected as the most beautiful girl on the this site !!!
Your grand prize is me ! Deal or no deal ??? haha
How is your day so far ?
Take care...."

And then today:

"Congratulations !!! You been selected as the most beautiful girl on the this site !!!
Your grand prize is me ! Deal or no deal ??? haha
How was your weekend ?
Take care..."

They are really cheesy, but there was some effort made.  But any points I could possibly give these guys for their original effort was completely cancelled out by reusing their message again.
