One of the various reasons of my long silence at dA is that I'm registered in hundred of internet sites, and I can't visit daily all of them. So I'm entering only in the sites which are sending me ebots about changes. 'John Doe did a comment in your post', 'Jane Doe did a exorcism in your account', etc. This is the matter (ebots, mail notifications) that I always missed in dA.-
Ps. This is the reason why I spend lots of hours at Facebook: zillion of mail notifications
