I can't speak for other forums, just for what I believe.
Expressing condolance should be a personal thing, it should come from your own sense of sympathy, empathy and with real feeling.
As I said earlier, I find it callous and lacking in sympathy, both for the deceased and those left behind.
As an example of what I mean: try holding an intimate conversation with your wife/girlfriend using nothing but pre-written cards. It doesn't work, there is no involvement, no emotion.
