So there is no way currently to get email notification when an a knol changes?
Related, what does "top-level comment" mean ? If I reply to an existing comment and then someone replies to mine, do I get a notification or not ?
(in case comment replies are not notified by default, please somehow ping me if you reply to this comment ;-) )
PS: Ah, I see the "Replies to comments I replied to" option in preferences. So ignore that part...

Email notification for particular knols
When Knol Help makes changes in a help-knol, I am not aware of that, so they are not reflected in my translations.
