Why do I get a mail when I posted something?

Question

Two general community bugs/concept failures:

1. When posting a reply to any thread, the checkmark "Email me when someone replies" is activated by default. This only makes sense when I'm posting a new thread, seeking help. Else it should not be activated, so I can still set it when needed or, if I overlook, I will get mails over mails because I cannot unset the checkmark afterwards.

2. With the checkmark being set while I post a reply in a thread I didn't start I will get an email just because I posted my own reply. The header then basically says "You just commented in a thread you follow" - huh, what?

Adobe did not write the forum software, it is rented from another company... that default may not be changed, so you will just have to remember to always UN-check the option before clicking POST
