I figured as much. And it can be a nice feature, and it can even be  
the expected behavior in many cases. But I think it's not the best  
behavior in all cases.

I don't suppose there's any way for this to be a per-user setting?  
Default to on so that casual MacPorts users commenting on tickets  
will get responses. Settable to off for ticket cleaners like me and  
Anthony who touch tons of tickets just to get them assigned to the  
right places but who don't want to be bombarded with tons of follow-ups.
