If it works like [m]any other forums I have forced myself into using you
do get an e-mail for each posting but only so long as you click on a URL
to back to the thread, for every e-mail you get.  If you don't click the
URL you don't get any more messages.  Hence my conclusion that it's
nothing but a carrot (or rather, a stick) to drive up clicks revenue
(again, not saying that is what the MythTV forums are doing but just
that that's the nature of the software it's using).
