Welcome!

Check the box below the box where you type in your message.
It says:

"Check here if you would like copies of follow-ups to your message emailed to you."

oh thanks, great idea!

and thanks for the welcome!

But don't check that box unless you really, really want the e-mail. I think it's easiest just to pop in here once a day and look over the postings.

And of course, each person in the thread is responding to the original poster, unless we start our reply with a name; in which case, we are talking to [name] but -usually- still on the topic as originally posted.
