I've tried to use those alerts, but they just seem to be useless.... and extra work to manage and delete and stuff....
"My Posts" gives no indication whether or not any new post is directed at you. Alerts take me directly to the ongoing conversation. I also use alerts to track thread subscriptions.
Yeah, but then you miss the other replies on that thread, no?
With "my posts" I follow the whole thread. Sure, there are a few that aren't worth it... But most are.
