Yeah that's the way I usually approach it - I have a "database" of answers so that the time spent on writing them up isn't always wasted. Little tweaks or adjustments here and there to make sure I'm utilising as much of their vernacular as possible always helps. There's ones that ask you to answer the KSC in your cover letter, then limit the cover letter to 2 pages which are handy and usually quicker to respond to. It's those that ask you to actually answer the KSC in a separate document that have me wondering whether it's worth the time. I know there's Gretzky's saying of missing 100% of the shots you don't take, but sometimes you gotta be selective with your time and energy.
Of course, I say all of this without ever being successful, save for a couple of interviews I've managed to get in easily over 100 applications, so yeah... lol.
