Whenever I encounter a site that doesn't offer the ability to subscribe to comments, I 2nd guess leaving a comment as then I have to remember to come back. Using the Comments RSS just isn't as convenient. Thanks for stopping by! Steven, you and me both!

Lorelles makes a valid point about the checkbox but I guess it is just a difference between opt-in marketing versus opt-out marketing. To be truly user-friendly I guess you should use opt-in but I've taken the approach that until people complain about it, it will remain as it is now.

It may be OK when you are getting a few comments on the post. But suppose your post gets dugg. That may leave your first commenters inbox buried under tens or hundreds of "...great post", ...thank you", trackback, pingback notification and other crap e-mail.

On Stephen Fung's site, I know John Chow and a few others voiced their opinion that it should be unchecked. Personally, I like sites that have it checked by default as then I don't have to worry about remembering to check it. Anything that makes it easier for me to keep tabs is a plus in my opinion.
