Has anyone else just received multiple emails re. answers being selected as best answer?

I have had 18 seperate emails for an answer that was selected as best answer! Has this happened to anyone else?

Update:

Unfortunatly, no, I did not get the 10 points for each email received ;)

    Yes, yesterday I was wondering why I received no emails telling my answers were selected as best. Today I'm receving the same e-mails again and again. I have like 30 now and they're still coming!

    I have received about a dozen emails for each of 3 best answers. I started receiving them last night. I probably received 4 or 5 last night and during the day. Most were received within the past few hours.

    there became a glitch in Yahoo's equipment that sent out dissimilar messages notifying us of suitable solutions. i do no longer understand if every physique reported them as unsolicited mail, yet i think of that they might in good condition that type. in accordance to Yahoo, the challenge is fastened so as that it will no longer be occurring from now on.
