Oh, perhaps this info will be useful:

Once you start a topic, unless you control this in your settings/preferences in the profile, then every time there is a new contribution, you likely are signed up for Email notices. That might be driving you crazy. You can control this. Top Right of these internet pages, click on your avatar and select Subscriptions (which is a specific tab in the profile; you can look at all of them while you are there). Here is where you see topics you "subscribed" to, and you control global settings or selective settings.

That helps a lot. Pretty much every internet forum allows you to customize some personal controls.
