If you dislike talking to someone so much that you wish you could automate it away, why are you talking to them to begin with? This seems similar or related to the need people seem to have to remain permanently connected even to people who they only met for a few seconds at a bar once, to increase that ever-important "friend count". Some relationships are meant to end. It's not healthy to try to maintain 1000 vaguely familiar people as "friends". The ridiculous thing is, most of those "friends" are dreading having to pretend to care about the things you, the guy they met for a few seconds once but feel bad deleting, post on the internet as well. Just stop it. Neither side wins in forced out-of-sympathy/fear/loyalty/obligation/etc relationships.
