Its there's in Thread Tools. I've never used it here but have on other sites. It could be useful for the serious sections here.

The e-mail notifications contain an "Unsubscribe" link, so it's pretty painless to switch off for threads you are no longer interested in.

I don't due to the volume of replies some threads get but wondered if others did.

Ah ha, guessed there must be a reason it doesn't even consciously register.

There are very few threads that I care enough about to know when someone has posted a response.

Occasionally have used it in the past for threads where I needed advice and wanted to see what people had said, but not any more, and never in General since there is never much in there that I'm interested in...
