Awesome stuff here, snappy feel, and it’s pretty nice.  
I’ve been getting email notifications shortly after I’ve responded to a thread, with _my_ response.

Does that make sense? I didn’t see an option in the Notifications section in the Profile to disable/control that behavior.

That was the default behavior for Sympa so I think it’s probably okay. Mailman does offer a config option to disable it, but I think it is on by default there too.

You can set Discourse to not send you email notifications for posts when you are actually logged in to the web UI, would probably do what you want in this case.
