I signed up to receive email notifications when people reply to a thread. I do not want to receive emails when I am the one who replied. We should check the user name against the person who posted and only send if they are different.
But you get used to it also complained when I signed up years ago, but the forums are so great (other than the "one line replyers" trying to score forum points) one live with it.
While I can understand this request, we have had many people state that they prefer to have the entire thread in their inbox for review. So no changes are planned for this.
Since this functionality will not be changed (based on Terri's reply) I'd like to suggest a workaround for you. Set up a filter in your email program to detect those types of emails and send them directly to your trash folder.

One annoyance about this forum, true that.

May be this functionality is given to put you on loop in context to the previous Replies..
