It is written here,[...does everyone get a reply...?].
I am unsure if the author of the statement is asking the administrators that or if this is a call for others to declare if they do or do not get a reply or something else.
But if it is a call to members to see if they get answers to notifications, I have notifications outstanding.
If you would like to see all the outstanding notifications of mine, you could email me if you like.
