I have received the following mail after post a comment on my own blog post: How to populate dropdownlist through jquery.
I think I should not recieve email when we commented on my own blog post.

Hi Vinay,
Good point. But I think receiving email notification for your own comment might be useful in some cases like for example you want to archive them for future reference or something.
Anyway, I believe the CodeASP team will look into this and will get back to you once they've fixed this out.
This topic is already hotly debated across technical communities and usability forums, and in the end everyone agrees that the author SHOULD get an email notifications for his.her own posts so that a standard is maintained which also helps in confirming the validity of the post addition process.
An email confirmation makes sure that your comment/post has been successfully added and as Vinz mentioned, also provides a record for later references.

Interestingly, I thought I've already sent a reply here (in this thread). However, I wanted to say the same, which is quoted in Vivek's post reply.
What if you add a comment/post and it gets deleted? Then you want to argue or object about the deletion? Sometimes it might be useful to have the notification email as a record that will prove that you've made that action, in this case, sent comment or post. Vivek said that shortly - "...also provides a record for later references."
