Comment (by rollybueno):

 Aha, I see. That is correct, I got mixed up on comment author and post
 author. I would vote for One group

 notifying the comment author instead [https://github.com/WordPress

 > 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?
