Are you trying to say that if you run a wordlist with the word "frank"
against a certain password file when you already have "frank" for another
hash in your john.pot, then "frank" passwords in your new password file
won't be cracked?  If so, that's not true.  They will be cracked just fine.

It _does_ make sense to reuse john.pot passwords as wordlists, but not
for the reason above.
