I sometimes get identical double or triple instant email notifications from the threads I’m subscribed to. Does this happened to anyone else?

Nothing serious… as it’s no biggie. I just delete a bunch of them at a time so it’s not that annoying however I do get slightly miffed as I end up opening identically same notifications without realizing… often.
