I was gonna say, I KNOW there's a way to turn off notifs. Mine have been off since I created an account. I hate being emailed about every little goddamn thing so I've been trained (by LJ/DW ironically) to shut down as many notifs as possible. I only get them for comments, because I get so few that having one notif every couple months isn't onerous.

OP, take a moment to curate your space before you start screaming.
