This is true.

So is this but there could be reasons. I do keep in other X-loops. I did
once try to keep in someone's custom loop header but when I sent a
response back that included their loop header, instead of killing the
loop, they responded with a message telling me there was a loop!

I keep a list of addresses that my autoresponder has responded to so that
it won't respond to the same address until the list is wiped out -
currently during the small hours each day
