For my #blind friends:
The image shows a gray chat interface (could guess it's facetime)
The user shows as "Apple" and replied: check in to this with you and I'm confident with what we discussed today you will be good to go! Thanks for contacting Apple!

Please do not reply this message to avoid starting a new interaction.

@searls surely they meant

Not reply message avoid new interaction.

Seems there were some other words they forgot to leave out.

@searls I won't reply to this in order to avoid starting a new interaction.

Whoops!

@searls I'm a big fan of how Sherman closed his final letter to Hood outside Atlanta:

"This is the conclusion of our correspondence, which I did not begin, and terminate with satisfaction."

And so subtle...

@searls years ago I had a credit agency call me and when we were done speaking, they told me that “I” had to hang up because they were not allowed to terminate the call. Hours later, I removed them from mute and hung up!

@dwcloudcutter this is also customary in Japan. It's considered rude to hang up so most folks in (civil, customer) service roles will not hang up until you do

@searls How would replying to the message avoid starting an interaction?

People have forgotten how to write.

@searls Ahh, I love email signatures! Currently, mine is as follows:

No trees, cats or Yahoos were harmed in the making of this message.

I'm quite proud of it, lol.
