I suppose the silliness is not so much the filter as that can be useful in other ways but the response to a review request. Unless pressing the rr button starts an automatic response. I don't imagine GR have the staff to check every request as they come in.

I'm too old for all this. I used to be quite good at that word search game but then I would not be looking for those sort of words tut tut. :-)

Can't believe that something has been rr'd in such circumstances.
