I've got EVERYTHING turned off and keep getting notifications --- is this some sort of punishment for renewing activity on the forums.?

I'm going to reply to a thread you've participated in. Let me know if you get an email.
 
No e-mails, great! No alerts, not so great.

Fingers crossed. I thank you for your patience.

Alert, yes. E-mail, no. Fantastic!

In principle, I've got time to spend on PF now --- Murphy no doubt has surprises in store for me.
