Diva - I recommend that there be a feature on the MB which would allow a poster to DEselect the e-mail feature on their post. I am interested in the follow up to my posts - for a while - but I see that frequently, the thread changes direction, or I don’t get an answer to the question I posted, or the thread sort of peters out. But I still get notification that there is a new post. At some point, I’d like to be able to say, OK, that’s enough, you don’t have to bother letting me know that there’s another post on that thread.

AFAIK, at the moment if you change your mind and want to deselect the e-mail notification in the middle of the thread, just e-mail the appropriate moderator.
