Thanks Renfield for the topic, and thanks GeronL and EveningStar for the pings.
This is my last Gods, Graves, Glyphs ping. This week’s Digest consists of just links to the various topics posted this week.
I’ve had it with A) the system suddenly multiplying the pings, and B) with the repetitive complaints about it in open threads and in FReepmail.
I’m glad everyone has been basically happy with the ping list until recently, and I do apologize (again) for the inconvenience caused by the multiple pings. The fact that I’d been pointing out the problem in those very messages showed me that the pingmeister role is an unnecessary one, and that no one is actually reading anything but the topic title. That’s as it should be.
With everything else that has happened in real life this year, and everything I’ve been trying to get done, and some cyber-changes (different broadband, different CPUs, different OSes, different locations) something has to go, and this is it. For the immediate future, the other ping lists will for the most part go on as usual, but I’m not sure that won’t change.
I’ll still post GGG topics, and will greatly enjoy not having to post topics when Renfield and many others post them instead. After tonight, the GGG presence will consist of just the message, or maybe just the presence of the keyword itself.
Anyway, thanks all 817 of you, it has been a great eight and a half years.

I guess I have to get used to searching with keywords.. darn... I am lazy!
:p
I’ve greatly enjoyed your ping list throughout the years. If you’re interested, I could help you set up a website/forum to continue your efforts.
Cultural perspective and a focus on the importance of history only strengthen the conservative position. Our principles are the result of centuries of willpower, war and conviction. To live only in day to day punditry and judge progress only from election to election is to throw away that heritage.
I thank you for the pings over the years!
Hope all works well for you. Congratulations on your retirement.
Thank you for your years of work, they have been an
interesting and facinating break from politics.
Thanks again.
Tet.
SunkenCiv, thanks for all that you do to chronicle new discoveries about things of the past.
Others will benefit from your massive effort to document information of whatbhasngone before.
I, too, will miss the pings, but thoroughly understand your position, and for the need for re-evaluation. Seems we are all about to experience great change, and how to prepare for it is elusive.
Best to you, FRiend!
I’m sorry that I only recently became a member of your ping list.
I’m also very sorry that people are blaming you for multiple pings. Software glitches occur all over the Internet and you should not take the blame for them.
I am sorry to hear you will no longer be heading the ping list for GGG.
I have not always been available to comment, but I look forward to seeing your “name” and discovering the fascinating information you sent that day.
Your service will be missed.
Illegitimi non carborundum
I’m sorry that this is going to be your last ping. I’ve enjoyed them immensely and have learned a great deal from many of them.
ok this sucks.
