For some reason you're connected to that specific thread in 'conversations' on the HAMB. I got the same thing yesterday even though I've never replied to the thread. Checking that thread, there were exactly 4 replies to it yesterday (mine being one). The last activity prior to that was Sept. 29 which kinda coincides with the break you received and the amount of messages you got yesterday. I see Alan got it too so it's confined to social forum members. I truly believe the discrepancy is on Ryan's end and not ours. Just my $.02.
