I was set to comment with "I think this is fine, it's not like I got any comments last night anyway," and then realized as zarhooie pointed out that there's finally a logged-in homepage (which, btw, YAY, I have been wanting one for EVER) that I do actually have comments in my inbox.

I think that there is not currently a notifications option for people who want them in email and not in the inbox, which is sometimes a problem (for people who don't like having an inbox) but is also sometimes a solution (like here and now).
