As of May 20, 2009: This addon is unsupported for the time being. AddOn authoring was only a hobby of mine. Mike-N-Go is not currently playing WoW, thus not creating or maintaining mods for WoW. If someone wishes to submit a patch for one of my mods to WoWInterface, you may within the bounds of the license bundled with the mod.

Latest Changes:
• Added throttling; if someone whispers you a trigger word and they have already received a message from the mod, they will not trigger the mod sooner then 5 minutes from the last time they triggered it
• Fixed a bug where the wrong name would be displayed when it was not the dominate talent spec
• Fixed misspelling 'specialized'
• Added auto-set of LFG comment to talent spec IE: I am Holy (5/0/0)
Brief Description:
Are you tired of constantly being asked what your spec is or if your interested in doing an instance? That is no longer a hassle with InstanceMinion: Spec Broadcaster! This mod auto-responds when one of the patterns (currently "spec", "specialization", "instance", "heal", "dps", "raid", "group", "party", "lfg", "queue", "tank", "resto", "quest", or "lf.?m") are whispered to you. The auto-response consists of two parts, your spec/class/level (automatically found) and a personal message if you so choose to include one. For example, it might respond with, "InstanceMinion: I am a level 76 Shaman, currently specalized in Restoration (0/0/66). I will reply if I am intrsted in doing an instance with you." No sooner then 5 minutes last they triggered the mod. Also, it will default your LFG comment to your spec. Think of all the time you could be saving!
Use:
To use InstanceMinion: Spec Transmiter, simply instal it and log into WoW.
If you wish to adjust any settings, they can be accessed from the /im or /instanceminion slash menu. Accepted commands are {help|toggle|on|off|set|use|current|up|update|whisper}. You may key /im help in game for more information.
The mod may be toggled on/off. You may set your personal message to a string of text if you wish to customize it.

A note to my fellow authors:
If anyone wishes to use more then a few lines of my code, I request you credit me by saying, "This product includes software developed by MikeNGo" somewhere as a comment, or in your documentation. I also hope that anyone who would take the time to read my code, would take the time to send me an e-mail of what you think, or what can otherwise be improved.
