[ARIN-consult] Oppose retiring email templates

[Owen DeLong]

I think people are assuming that the processing of email templates is  
not
and/or cannot be automated to the extent that web forms can.

That simply isn't accurate.  Email template parsing into the database  
is,
as I understand, automated. Sure, there are more ways for email  
templates
to come in with incorrect syntax/etc. and those create exceptions that  
may
require manual processing, but, generally, email templates can be just
as automated as processing web forms.

As such, I don't see the logic behind pressuring people to the web  
interface.
