Agreed. When I log in and 20 people send a computer generated message
to say "hi" to me while they actually don't even care enough to use their
fingers to type a message, what's the point in saying "hi" at all? It's
nothing more than stupid spam anymore.

How will you know ;-)

I can see your point. The reason I posted this is that a few days someone
asked if there was a mod doing this, as they had an issue in the guild that
people seemed upset, if they were not greeted after logging in.
I have to admit, it occasionally happens to me, that I miss some of my guild
mates coming online when I am in the midst of a fight.
And the addon does *NOT* autogreet. It just provides a list of people that
logged in, since you last looked. One could argue that it is just providing
another form for the information available in the chat log anyway.
I can then choose to type my greeting manually (I use 2-3 types of
greetings), or I can make my life simpler, by clicking on the name in the
addon window, which then greets the new person.
Yes, it does take care of some of the work (mainly keeping an eye on the
chat and typing). No, it is not an auto-greeting. Yes, it is still my
decision to greet you.
Would that be so bad? Especially since you will not know the difference :-)

Thanks for clarifying that. That is a very different kettle of fish to
what I was picturing and does indeed sound much more useful. It can be
very easy to miss the "Blahblah has come online" message, especially if
you're in the middle of a fight and three other conversations. :-)
Cheers!
