Reminds me of ebay. It wants you to RESPOND to every message. There is no "no response needed" button, so every time you get a question that item again, the old message pops up again wanting an answer.

So when they say "thanks", it wants you respond. ARGH.

How can Facebook be evil when their CEO enjoys smoked meats so much?

facebook - albeit an invasive monopoly - is an privately-owned entity.
Its users (unless they choose to buy any of the for-sale services) CHOOSE to - or choose NOT to - engage/articulate it.
The reason that facebook costs the users nothing, is because the users' personal information (whether-or-not they realize it) is facebook's product.
I'm just offering a few tuba players - here - a small insight into one of facebook's algorithms...one whereby it expects those who've set up business pages to respond (ie. "get the last word") to every privately-sent customer inquiry...and facebook does not distinguish between "How much is that gold-plated bolt?" and "OK, thanks". Finally, facebook downgrades its ratings of business pages when there is no response to a customer-sent "OK, thanks".
I thought it was only for the initial message that you need to respond to in a timely manner for the badge & that FB would bug you about.
