An actual rant?

What is it with companies that they are so full of themselves that they can't even send a rejection of a job application? I know there's a glut of people out of work but come on. Out of the slew of jobs I have applied to I finally got a nice rejection letter from a company. You would have thought I won the lottery, I was thrilled. I wrote the HR people and thanked them for at least treating me with enough respect to tell me I wasn't right for them. If I am ever in a situation of being applied to, I hope that I would have the common courtesy to let people down with the utmost of respect.
