That doesn't seem right. Thanks for the reference to the spot in code
where it's happening.
I've been digging further, and it’s emailing the **post author**, not the
comment author.
The problem is this copy "Email me whenever anyone posts a comment" is
ambiguous.
Who is me?
== Proposed Reviewed Copy:
This two checkers should not be grouped. They should be individual.
There are two options
=== Two groups:
{{{
Email the post author whenever [ ] Anyone posts a comment
Email the admins whenever [ ] A comment is held for moderation
}}}
=== One group:
{{{
Comment Email notifications [ ] Email the post author whenever anyone
posts a comment
[ ] Email the admins whenever a comment is
held for moderation
}}}
@sabernhardt you are the UI expert, which looks better to you?
