Jul 17, 2010 4:44:37 I just got e-mailed from someone quoting one of my posts. Personally I can see this feature being both useful and annoying. If someone wants to change this option is is under Preferences.

Jul 19, 2010 3:11:03 Yeah, it's a little bit annoying when new features like this pop up already in the 'on' position.

And somebody quoting you is not necessarily a foolproof indication that you've been responded to. Lots of people reply without actually using the quote function (e.g. by prefacing their post with '@[Name]'). If you're waiting for a 'somebody quoted you' email before returning to that thread, you're going to miss responses.
