That's a legitimate question, but in the threads linked above there was some debate on how it works. For example, if I turn off the notifications for quote/reply, does that also turn it off for threads I've subscribed to (where I do want notifications)? Is it an all or nothing? Can it be done thread only, another question raised?

As a TB member I'm willing to keep an open mind on this, but as an FTer I wouldn't want it implemented if I was stuck w/ getting a gazillion notifications w/o an ability to opt-out.

The MarriottInsiders notifications drove me up a wall/clogged up my inbox, and even MP back when I used to go on it. I also would not be happy if, by opting out, I also have to opt out of thread subscriptions. While I don't subscribe to a lot of threads, the ones that I do are ones I do want info on.

Cheers.
