DID I ASK TO BE ON YOUR PING LIST?

Apologies for the vanity post. But I want to rant a bit.
In the past few months, ping lists have proliferated to the point of annoyance. And it is especially irksome to find oneself on a list without having requested inclusion.
There's a word for this: 
.
Ponder this question, Chester: Did I ask to be on your #%&@ing ping list? No? Well, then. Draw the logical conclusion. If I wish to be on your ping list, rest assured you'll be the first to know. But while you wait with bated breath for my entreaty to be a party to your wisdom, I'll thank you not to make the assumption that I consider your blog indispensable.
Personally, I'd like to see pinging stopped entirely, via the placing of a limit on the number of people a post may be directed to -- preferably one, but no more than five, in my opinion. But failing that, it should at least be the case that unsolicited spam has no place on Free Republic.

Some things are more important than a freaking ping list."

I just don't have the time I need to respond to all of them No problemos, hermana ;^)
To: Bahbah
Thanks Bahbah. I always tell folks to let me know if they want off the Southern pings. I appreciate when other folks send a ping my way - it helps me get the news I'm interested in; it's easy to miss good articles.
An alternative to ping lists might be a better published use of the "group lists". Just a suggestion.

I work almost exclusively off my ping list. Makes it so I don't have to go searching for the things I like. I would appreciate it if you would do me the honor of pinging me. Thanks.

You know, I think Trent Lott had something to say about the proliferation of Ping lists, something about how their should be more, they should ping repeatedly and if we'd have had more in the past things wouldn't be so screwed up now...
