I'm A Sucker For Punishment, I Guess!
So, Here's What I Did.
I wrote a couple of posts here at WA about following each other and the huge amount of emails that go along with following large numbers people.
After thinking about it for a while, I went to my profile page and, at the very bottom, found the button that turns off email notifications.
I said to myself, "Self, let's find out what that little button does."
I turned them off.
See the blue "No" button above? Yep, I did it.
Ah, the bliss of not having to keep up with all those emails! The button actually worked!
Well, the bliss lasted for less than a week. I think I was hooked on finding out what everyone had to say, and with notifications turned off, that wasn't happening.
Silly me, I went back and turned the notifications on again.
Back to the blue "Yes" button.
Why did I go back?
I went back for a couple of reasons.
- It was more difficult to find out who had started to follow me
- I was missing out on too much information
- My email just kind of sat there, and didn't change
- I missed the community
Ok, more than a couple.
Yes, I have to admit it, I missed the community. I'm not much of a social person. I mean, I have my friends like everyone else, but it seemed like the people at WA that I was beginning to consider as friends were suddenly gone.
Not gone, but it was like a wall had dropped between us.
"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall!" Famous words from Ronald Reagan.
I tore down the wall.
I'm going to be punished for doing so by getting huge numbers of emails now.
I'm smilin!

Hi Grant, it’s all about priorities. Your business is your priority and if you have time left after you’ve your days work complete then choose the mains you want to read.

Great post - I've gotten into and now GOT CHECK MY INBOX. Thanks sharing this wonderful but true insight into being a member of this unique community.
Yes, I've already checked mine a couple of times. One of the things I was wondering about when I turned the notifications back on was whether i'd get stored up notifications. Nope.
