    Over 1600, but less than 1700. That number would be higher, but every once in a while i click to unsubscribe to threads from email notications. No telling what the actual number would've been going back to 2009 when I stopped lurking and registered.

    For anyone that isn't aware of it ....... if you have email notifications set up for subscribed threads in your profile, every time you post a thread, or reply to one, you'll be subscribed and get an email. You'll even get an email if someone else posts in the thread. Can get cluttered.

    If you go to your profile settings you can uncheck those preferences and not get subscribed to everything you participate in.

    In case you specifically want to subscribe to a particular thread, as most of you know, go up to the tool bar above, click on "thread tools", and a drop down menu will allow you to "subscribe to this thread."

    Just in case anyone doesn't know that. I didn't when I first came around.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Ewwww... Had I known it would lead to the wasting away of a valuable SRP member, I would have requested a quick thread delete from a mod.

    I am interested why some think that subscribing to to many threads is bad. I am at 798 or there about. If I think a thread is interesting enough to post to I would like to see others answers. Sometimes I think it is a good topic but have nothing to contribute. I am still interested in anyone else's contributions so I subscribe. Some I am subscribed to I ignore many times but but then look at them when I am in the mood.

    I am now subscribed to this thread!

    Yeah, I know what you mean. But a lot of mine were welcome post replies or threads that had passed their use by date.

    195 including this thread. I also have it set up to subscribe me to threads that I post in. When I don't have anything to say, but am still interested I subscribe manually. I also subscribed to the classifieds. Sometimes I wish I could get a text alert for that. Good deals don't usually hang around long.

    First thing in the morning, I misunderstood the question at the poll...I am rabid about keeping my email under control, So usually zero. I RARELY have more than 2 or 3 subscriptions and usually drop those after a day or two
    The easy road is rarely rewarding.
