This is really only an issue for Gmail users who access it via Mail.app or some other email desktop client. If you're using the Gmail supplied web interface then everything is done in "conversations", and then it makes sense for them to automatically not show you your response.
I suppose what you mean is that in conversation mode it shows you the message you sent out, and so has no need to show you the message you would receive, otherwise I can hardly envision a conversation mode where your part of the conversation is not shown. This I could almost buy, though I still think it is being too smart for its own good (rather, for my own good). But suppose I just want to send myself a reminder email. It will receive it and show it in its web interface in the inbox there, but it will never send it through POP. It effectively doesn't allow me to send emails to myself. Is there really a good technical reason for that?
Try sending mails to yourself and you'll see that it works - I do it all the time. It happens only to mails which are sent to mailing lists.
I've done so, twice. They are waiting for me in my gmail inbox online, but POP doesn't bring them to Mail.app. At least gmail doesn't delete those.
