Automatic following of topics

Could we get an option to stop the automatic following of every topic a user posts a comment in? Only rarely do I want to be notified of replies to such a topic.

Note that I don't want to disable all notifications of replies forever I just don't want to have to comment and then immediately unfollow the article 90% of the time. I'd rather manually decide to follow, since that's by far the minority decision for my usage.

Although I think most of our users tend to prefer being opt-out instead of opt-in to discussions they participate in, it's still a pretty good idea to make that an option. I'm not sure how soon we will get to it, but I'll put it up on the board!

Just pushed this setting out! If you go to gdgt.com­/settings­/­#preferences and uncheck "auto-follow on reply" you'll no longer be automatically following discussions and questions when you reply to them.
