This seems to be a good place to ask a ‘stupid’ question that I’ve wondered about...

Is there a way, inside a long thread, to gather ALL the FRs that replied, for purposes of future pings?

Obviously, this is feasible for a small thread manually.

Are there ping lists that are created this way?

If there is no FR website method to do this (what does reply to ‘ALL’ do, if anything?), is there a method outside of FR (say, thru excel/word/etc)?

I’m not sure I understand, but in my experience, if you run a ‘ping-list’ people tend to dislike being on it if they haven’t requested to be.

(And I’ve never found replying ‘all’ to do anything.)

“This seems to be a good place to ask a ‘stupid’ question that I’ve wondered about...”

that’s what I am hoping for.

Please don't do that. Some FReepers have scraped my name from replies to one of their posts, then ping me (and everyone else on their list) every time they post something new.

I politely ask to be removed from the ping list.

If I don't ask to be on another person's ping list, I don't want to be on the ping list.

“All” doesn’t do a thing.

People who run a ping list have a list of people to ping. It’s a list of FR user names separated by semicolons and they build the list over time or inheret it from another FReeper who they took over the threads for as I did with the prepper ping list from Cottonball who took it over from someone else.

PM me if you want to be added to the prepping and self sufficiency ping list.

Nothing thank GOD. What’s important for a ping may not be
the same for others, including ALL.

Make a nice graphic (like the one I posted here)..

I do NOT recommend adding people without their consent.. it makes them angry, and you don't want to see them when they are angry (had to throw that in there 😁.

I had spent a little over 2 weeks going back through threads all the way back to 2015, then PMed (FRmail) all the ones I could find, asking if they still wanted on the list. Then, I made a thread asking the same thing: Viking Kitty/ZoT Rebuild, (after a couple too many shots of rum), which turned out to be a very good thread.
