Oops, I'll have to think about that... but not tonight

... on a completely different topic... I've noticed that whenever I
post a message to ruby-talk@ruby-lang.org from my gmail account, I get
the message twice in my inbox, making me wonder three things...
1) Does everybody get my messages twice?  If so, I humbly apologize
and will stop posting immediately as I can see where this could be
just a tiny little bit annoying.
2) Does anybody else have this problem?  If so
3) How did you solve it (assuming it's a solvable problem)?
