And you have thereby let a freeper know the problem and why, and this is how a problem can be resolved.
With the problems loading pages, I optioned out of having state msgs listed at top of my pages.
I never opted in but when I enrolled in the Illinois board, I was getting pages and pages of copy and paste messages every day. For the life of me I couldn't figure out how to get off that message board but I did accidentally find out how to change my location to what it is now (The Congo) no spam mile long messages since.
Concerning ping lists, it was my belief that you don't put anybody on one unless they asked to be on it. I am constantly getting on someones ping list and I have only ever asked to be on one.
I asked a poster once (by private mail) to remove me and she refused, saying that everybody who replies on any thread she posts gets put on her list and if I didn't want on her list, to not reply anymore on her posted threads.
She finally removed me after I embarrassed her a few times on threads she posted and pinged me to.
There's just one ping list I want to be on and I'm already on it.
