It dates back to the days when mail delivery would take... well... days instead of minutes or seconds. It's extremely unlikely (read, impossible) to convince everyone on the internet to not cc: you, so much better to learn how to cope. Personally I use procmail to filter the ones addressed to me to my inbox, and delete the dupes.
