@SusanEllen66, that is a good tip. It helps when people use the @username of the person they are addressing.

To help spare your inbox, you also have control to change your settings on this thread. Here's how:
1. Go to the original post of discussion you're interested in.
2. Click the bell icon in the bottom right of the first message.
3. Select the setting you wish from the 4 options:
- Send me an email and on-site notifications.
- On-site notification only.
- Notify me only if someone @mentions me or replies to one of my comments.
- Mute this discussion. Do not notify me.
4. Click Save Setting.

Currently, I think you may have selected the first option. You may wish to change it to option 2 or 3.
