yes, this can be avoided. If you log into your facebook account and click on "account in the upper right hand corner and select "account settings". under setting there is a tab labeled "notifications" click on that and it will bring you to a screen that you can select or unselect preferences for your email; what types of things you will receive. Hope that helped!

To avoid getting email notiications for each comment you have to edit Account settings.

Here it goes:

In your Facebook profile, click on "Accounts>>Account Settings>>Notifications"

There you will find many check boxes selected under "Photos"

deselect "Comments on your photos".

Similarly you can remove what ever you don't want to be notified through E-mail.

Done!!!
