Blogger recently established a box at the bottom of comment sections that you can check to get follow up comments sent to you. I don’t want to read “everyone’s” comments in the string, only if the author responds. Is this the way it works?

No. If you check the box to be updated (via e-mail) with new comments or responses, you will receive all comments/responses (including those posted by the author). Depending on the discussion topic, the site’s traffic, etc. this may or may not inundate you with e-mail.

I tried it but didn’t care for it. I ran a poll on my blog and most did not even know what it was.

Thanks for answering my question.
