Recently a couple of people have told me that they’d rather not get the email notices. And a couple of others told me that they like it.
While everyone has control over getting them, doing that isn’t obvious. There’s a check-box under the comment textarea. But it slides way down the page as you type because of the comment-preview text.
There’s also a manage subscriptions link. Which takes you to a page of check-boxes for each email notice.
For a long time I’ve set the default option to subscribe. But as an experiment, I’ve switched it to off. Please let me know how this change works for you.
