You know, it annoyed me at first until I recognized it as a ping-back
kind of feature.  Then it still annoyed me, but it at least had a
purpose.

This has come up several times before, there are filter hacks but none
are satisfactory so far.  The best I had would remove both of my
mails, which got really annoying.   Other (sane) filter hacks are
welcome, as it'd be nice to stick it on a wiki page or blog entry so
we can point people at it.
