Having seen the digest for the 6th 6 times, the 7th 5 times, etc.,
I can guess what's happening:
A copy of the love-hounds digest is going TO love-hounds@uunet.uu.net,
which is automatically spitting it out to the NEXT digest. Therefore,
the digest for the 6th gets included on the digest for the 7th, the
digest for the 7th (which includes the digest for the 6th) gets included
on the digest for the 8th, ad infinitum.
Welcome to the wacky world of recursion, folks!
