The half-bit you actually send means more to the recipient than the 160 bytes you don't.
I'm more unsettled by the automation part. At least the half-bit received came from someone who consciously thought about you enough to send it. Once you emulate that part, all you have is a MITM initiating conversations between strangers.
To try to be a little constructive, is a relationship really worth anything if a half-bit is all one can spare for it?
