It seems there is a sudden upswing in ping list. Please don't take me wrong I'm on a few of them and I enjoy them. However when a person starts recieving whole list pings to a same thread 4 times for that same thread then I consider that to be abuse.
Most of us in here if we want off a ping list do so by posting the request in the thread and the issue is then settled. The person may have many reasons for doing so like getting pings to topics they do not want to pinged to.
In the last couple of days it seems there has been someone who refuses to take a hint even after multiple request on threads asking for name removal from the ping list. Is the person not seeing them? No I really don't think so as this person when someone request to be put on the list replies on the thread they are added.
The ping list should be a one time per thread event. If not such as the case now three threads equals 12 pings to all on the list. I think it's clear to see the problem it creates. Self search becomes bogged down.
I have tried to resolve this issue without resorting to this post. I can not just ignore 12 plus pings a day to just three different threads all from one freeper doing the runaway pings. To all others and you know who you are this is in no way directed at you or your list in any way.

To: Fred Mertz
I try to check out most articles you ping me to, but it's impossible to get into the discussion and compose a thoughtful reply for even a fraction of them. You know the deal.
Thanks, Fred Mertz! You were one of those on my "starter" ping list that began with those that I happened to notice seemed to be hitting the same articles. Most on my list now have requested to be added.
Thanks for letting me know, and yes I sure "know the deal."

Or as Captain Ramius would say, "One ping only".

Perhaps, for a period of time,
everyone should add 'davidosborne' to
every reply,
every article...
Start a pool on how long it takes for him to say 'enough!'.
hehehehehe
