I don't agree that notify should be checked by default.

I visit the forums to check for questions and responses, and would rather not have email notifications. It would be a pain to have to remember to uncheck this option.
And various people get involved in providing answers. Why receive an email alert to a thread which a solution has been provided for?

Just my opinion.
