I do not want my users getting nailed with 4000 update notifications. Can we avoid that?

Q: I do not want my users getting nailed with 4000 update notifications. Can we avoid that? HOW?
A: I haven't heard of any one user getting 4000 update notifications. On average its in the teens. The new version of the OL tool does have a switch to turn these off but this was added to help work thru resource calendars and we do not recommend customer run this switch on end users calendars.
