If you've ever worked customer support, you know that some questions just keep getting asked, no matter how many times you've already answered them. This is normal and probably inevitable, but also annoying and time-consuming. So, instead of writing the same reponse a thousand times, why not write some re-usable templates and save yourself the aggravation?
