It's from a search engine spammer, but the point stands. Templating is
not only insulting to the regulars, it's insulting to all recipients.
How about some RFA opposes: "Too much templating, no conversation."
That should get the goldfarmers off the templating kick.

It depends on the situation. If someone has uploaded a copyvio despite
multiple warning notices I will throw {{subst:nsd}} at them if only
becuase it is more polite than what I would write. If however it looks
like someone just forgot to list themselves as a sorce or whatever it
will generaly avoid a template if only because the responce rate is
higher (perhaps because it makes people think genisock2 is a real
person or whatever).
So templates do have their uses in some cases but are less use for
regular communication.
Untill I see more detials of this case it is hard to say which applies.
