yes, no and for sure, maybe.
if you come to the Forum daily and read through all the messages, email notifications are a bit overmore.
if you make a post and don't come back for weeks, email notifications are handy.

email notifications can be quite a pain when somebody comes in and posts something new to a five year old thread.
I'm here frequently; email is turned off.
