Jeff, I'm glad the solution worked for you, but I'm a little confused by your request.
I'll start by saying that I'm onboard with you old-school; EXCEPT for GMail's web interface. No PC based client I've ever used (Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, Evolution) have ever done labels and conversations well, so I stick with no conversation view and traditional folders there. In GMail's web interface, I like the way their conversation view works (most of the time) and LOVE the way labels work. With your original solution, the messages you sent were in the group label, but they were ALSO still visible in your sent label. In a traditional client like Outlook, when the list sent out your message, you'd receive it back (as a list member) which would be filed in the group folder. You would also have the original you sent in the sent-mail folder. Gmail short-cuts this by "hiding" the one it receives that matches what you sent, leaving you with only one copy; but two labels would be the same look that a traditional folder-based system. With your new filter, it's like your client is deleting any received messages to the group from you, leaving you with only the copy in your sent mail folder. It just seems counter to me to the old school way of looking at things.
