Uh, yeah, and about that.... did you hear, a funny thing happened on the way to the laundromat:

Personally, I've only sent one alert in the past 2 weeks -the post got hidden- and it wasn't ANY of the ones they're complaining about over there.

But given the fact I've had some of the most ridiculous alerts in the DU universe thrown at me (like for saying "iverglas", or for saying I don't think "objectification theory" is a hard scientific concept, for instance) I find the complaints around "obsessive alerting" a little bit methinks-someone-doth-protest-too-much funny.
