I did.

I'm not sure what more explanation you want than what I've already given you. 
I want to be notified of ALL changes (which, due to the definition of the word
"all," includes my own).  I added my user account to the variable whose name
indicated it would do exactly this.  It used to work; now it does not.

As for the workaround, that would likely create duplicate e-mails for watchlist
items and would also constitute a valid, unmonitored account (a negative for
security).  And it fails to address the issues at hand.

The variable is correctly named; its functionality was broken.

> In either case, you should not be e-mailed your own changes

Yes, I should.  That's kinda the point here.  :-)
