Hey, Rob, it’s good that you’ve changed your mind and unchecked the Subscribe to comments.

Here is one more reason for people who are not yet convinced that this is a good decision.

The internet is full of people who are in a hurry, they leave a comment, don’t notice that Subscribe to comments is checked and then later on , when they receive an email from you … gues what? This type of person is the first who will not waste anymore his time but forward your message to a spammers blocklist. I know some very known blocklists that will very quickly blacklist your domain name and they will not notify you! Later, when you’ll notice that something is wrong, you’ll waste your time to see who is blacklisting you and then you’ll waste even more of your time to convince those people that you’re not a spammer …

Thanks but I’d love to know more about what you mean exactly. Your comment in some ways resembles the type of comment I’m trying to deter, simply because it says very little.Do feel free to comment further and elaborate on your suggestions, there’s always the possiblity I misunderstood what you meant, thanks!

Read your post, went straight to the options page, clicked subscribe-to-comments, found I’d had it set to default all along, phew.

Great tip.
