You are making an utter ass of yourself in public.  I'd recommend you stop.

If you don't like the default behavior of the list, change it.  But it's 
a perfectly reasonable way for a mailing list to behave, even if it 
confuses and annoys you specifically.  I do not get multiples when I 
post to ANY mailing lists, because I do not use gmail.
