Perhaps, but I feel that a personal reply that assumes good faith and includes the right links (there's more than the ones I included above, but I generally only include those that are relevant when composing one of these replies) is more in line with the Spirit of the Monastery.

It's important to make people feel welcome, especially new initiates. The actions and words of the monks reflect on the entire Monastery, and - in turn - on Perl itself. We want to foster a community of helpfulness and friendliness, and the best thing we can do to achieve that is to be helpful and friendly ourselves.

(Semi-)automated feedback, well-intended as it might be, may instead serve to turn new users off and drive them away. I'd prefer to leave consideration of nodes as an aid for janitors, not as a general feedback mechanism.
