I just don't want my inbox blown up with every response to every thread, even if it's filtered to a separate RBW Bunch folder or something like that. I enjoy the interface of clicking through threads as I please in addition to reading threads in a descending order and having the thread confined to one space- things come across clearer to me that way, rather than sorta getting my emails mixed up / out of order. In fact one of the first things I did when I joined the group was turn off email notifications entirely, other than PMs.
It's not a huge deal, and if Google Groups stuff doesn't get sorted then maybe I will move to emails, I just also read emails all damn day at work and appreciate the respite. Not the end of the world, I just prefer the web interface. That said, maybe I just don't use email filters correctly.
