I do have an alert set to send a daily email update showing new threads on the AS forum as well as those that have been updated. I also flag individual threads in various forums so that daily emails are sent if there have been updates to the thread.
Result? An average of 30 to 40 email updates from FlyerTalk that arrive during the night.
Do I want to get an instant email notice every time someone adds a new thread to the AS forum or updates an existing thread? Nope. Sorry, but I'm not that much of a geek ... and I get enough spam as it is.
But I would like to have a way of receiving a single, instant email notification of a thread that's important - eg: notice of a new flash sale.
That's all. I'm probably out-voted by those of you who live on FT via your computer or phone, so be it.
