I see the locked question on Money & Finance, and I'm not sure that you intended it to appear as a question, where of course it will remain until you delete it. If it's not technically possible to post it as an automatic answer, and because it's a bit of a surprise and slightly daunting to the newcomer, what about a line of explanation top or bottom the the effect that: "this message appears automatically when a question is posted concerning A......... L......... Sorry for any inconvenience"? NGB
