[closed] PUBLIC SERVICE NOTICE - Beware of email notification settings

Just got 99 Emails from lockergnome about answers to questions, looked like a denial of service attack for a second.

Check your settings now or you may have 2K+ Emails to clear tomorrow.

EDIT: CLick your name on the top right, user tools, email notifications and decheck the Questions I Answer Box. Save and done.
