That would be extremely annoying for people who know how to quit an
unused IRC client.  People who camp out in the channel all year wouldn't
be affected by the noisy bot, of course.  They would also not "benefit"
from the automated entry message.

I send back an automated message in response to a /msg.  That might
result in a /msg loop from if the bot sends unsolicited messages and
then responds to replies.  I know of several other people who have
resorted to sending an auto-response to unsolicited /msg text, so the
bot's designers would have to keep that sort of thing in mind.
