I think that's kind of the point.  If you're going to be out and set an 
automatic response message, have the courtesy to prevent it from being 
repeatedly sent to public mailing lists.  Nothing is more infuriating 
than having a list flooded with "So-and-so is currently out of the 
office." messages every time someone posts something (I saw that idiocy 
on W3C's public CSS mailing list once; boy, were the sysadmins PISSED 
about it...).
