There is, configure the variable message-dont-reply-to-names to match
your email-address(es).

,----[ C-h v message-dont-reply-to-names RET ]
| message-dont-reply-to-names is a variable defined in `message.el'.
| Its value is
| "\\(asjo\\|adam\\)@\\(koldfront.dk\\|asjo.org\\)"
| Original value was nil
| 
| Documentation:
| *Addresses to prune when doing wide replies.
| This can be a regexp or a list of regexps.  Also, a value of nil means
| exclude your own user name only.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
| 
| This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
| version 24.3 of Emacs.
`----

And then do a wide reply.

Some what related: You can also set gnus-ignored-from-addresses, which
will show the To: address instead of the From: in the *Summary*,
whenever the article is from you.

,----[ C-h v gnus-ignored-from-addresses RET ]
| gnus-ignored-from-addresses is a variable defined in `gnus-sum.el'.
| Its value is
| "\\(asjo\\|adam\\)@\\(koldfront.dk\\|asjo.org\\)"
| Original value was 
| "asjo@koldfront\\.dk"
| 
| Documentation:
| *From headers that may be suppressed in favor of To headers.
| This can be a regexp or a list of regexps.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
| 
| This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
| version 21.1 of Emacs.

Hope this helps!
