That's a setting. I'd go nuts if I got an email every time the above happened.
I click on Forum and scan the lists, then attend to notifications on the bell, upper right. Those are replies to my posts, but not all of them.

Of course you'd go nuts, probably you'll get more than 100 email notification in one day, including those likes on your comments
I only get 7, 8, maybe 10, depends on how many threads I commented.
Ummmm. Methinks you are oversharing again....
The (SS) Jones's, of course!
I live here. See that English Tudor 3 houses down on the right that is mine.
I belong to a couple other pipe forums but PM is my main squeeze. I always have a tab open and I can scroll through new threads very quickly. If I see something that interests me I check it out.
When you compare PM to sites of it's kind it is easy to see how much busier it is and the quality of the discussions cannot be had at any other site. We have more action than the other 4 forums combined.
I believe the reason for this is we have been around longer than most and there is good balance of busting each others balls but then we get serious about a topic and people here do their homework, they are not just pulling shit out of their asses and calling it facts.
Here is a fact most people don't know but Latakia is made by smoking the leaves over piles of slow burning Camel shit. How's the Latakia tasting now boys?

Forums is a guilty pleasure, like a neighborhood bar where I'd hang out. I'll chore around, complete this or that task or errand, then sit down and peruse the current posts and see what interests me. As Mark Twain said, anyone can do any amount of work as long as it isn't what they're supposed to be doing.
Nothing like the smell of camel droppings in the morning; it smells like Latakia! Referencing cigrmaster's post.

I usually head for the WAYS and see what folks are up to, check notifications in case there is a quote to read and/or respond to. If I get a PM I receive an email. I like the list of recent stuff. Something or someone catches my eye I’ll read it for entertainment, enjoyment or education (often those coincide).
Tip the site will be here with all the posts when you comeback to check on them.
God bless the pig and now, additionally, the camel. But, access to "real", the original Latakia, is no longer possible as I understand the current situation.How's the Latakia tasting now boys?
Couldn't agree more. There's a fine line when it comes to social media, technology, etc. I definitely don't want to be inundated with alerts, either! I think I just need to get used to how the forum works so that when I DO check it, I feel like I'm using my time wisely.
Any good books you've read as of late you'd recommend?
"Keeping up with" might be the wrong term. I'd just like to be involved more. Not much of a pipe community here locally (that I'm aware of).
As many folks that are members here, many just read the posts, very few of us know other pipe smokers. Not sure how community would apply to smoking, but we come and go here. Sometimes just to read, sometimes to converse.
Hello friend Snook. I'm glad you got to know this forum of brother smokers. You will learn a lot of things here. Many good people here and big hearted. Regarding a book, it's hard without knowing your tastes. What do you like, history, fiction, mix of the two? There is a Spanish writer that I like very much, a few years ago I was given a book called SIDI. The writer's name is Arturo Perez Reverte, he was a war correspondent in the Balkans and many other conflicts. I don't know if it is translated into English.
