I do too... The question is what should bot authors do to prevent problems, and given that some client authors will say "our clients want this", what should the guidelines be to said authors, to prevent message loops. Do you need a email-like Precedence header (like tagging messages as Dave suggested) or checking <identity> to see if we are talking to something that claims to be human is enough? Just because you, remko, and me don't like auto-replies, doesn't make them go away, that's my fear.
