Automatic watching of topics?

Lately, I've noticed that when I post in a topic, it automatically triggers the "watching this topic" function that sends e-mail alerts to me when I post (for example, as I post this topic, I note that in the "options" below where I'm typing, the "Notify me when a reply is posted" box was checked--I have of course since unchecked it, but this same thing seems to be in effect when the Quick Reply function is used as well.

Is there a reason for this? Some setting in my profile why it would happen? And how can I make it stop?

Profile > Topic(s) being watched tab > mark which ones you don't want to watch (there's a mark all button) > push the "stop watching these topics" button > at the "do you really want to stop watching these topics?" push yes

Under Profile > Preferences tab

Always notify me of replies: Yes/No
Sends an e-mail when someone replies to a topic you have posted in. This can be changed whenever you post.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the heads up.

Aha! Thank you very much!
