This is not the wording I would have chosen, but I don’t see this as deception. It is common marketing practice to thank someone for doing something that you hope they will do in the near future. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this many times in advertisements “Thank you for trying our delicious pastries.” As a random example of this, I googled and found the Roosa Bee Farm in Wallkill New York, and at the bottom of their home page, where you still need to click to actually order anything, it says “Thank You for trying our honey and if you ever have any questions, we will always be there for you. Just give us a call.” As another example, where I work, there is one lady who sends me lists of files that need actions, but thanks me for doing them as if they were already done (as she does expect them to be done in the near future). It is actually confusing sometimes, because everyone else thanks me after I have worked the requests, so if I’m not careful, I assume I’ve already worked her requests. It can be confusing, but there is no attempt at deception on her part.

"An exmormon.org member writes: "I just got this email from mormon.org thanking me for creating a profile. I immediately logged on to see if somebody had created one for me. I didn't have one. It was a trick to get me to log into the create profile page".

What would you call this if not deceptive? "Thanks for creating the non existent profile that we expect you to now create since you will arrive at the page that indicates your cooperation is a done deal."

one lady who sends me lists of files that need actions, but thanks me for doing them as if they were already done (as she does expect them to be done in the near future).

IMO, It's doubtful that most people would accept this kind of treatment.

I am impressed on how you were able to spin obvious deception into a non issue.

Well I guess we agree then, the leaders of the breakaway LDS sect of Mormonism is as truthful as a car salesman.
