Please remove my name from your ping list.

PinG!!! Sorry, I couldn't resist :-)
Actually, I don't have a 'ping list' but I'm on a few and I like the articles but I feel badly sometimes that I can't read and respond to them all.

[cva66snipe]

I don't mind a one time ping to any thread from anybody this went way beyond that though.

*ping*

It seems there is a sudden upswing in ping list.

Noticed that too.

My suggestion: if you have ping lists and someone has not responded to them in a month or two, take 'em off.

Ooops, forgot to remove Miss Marple from the non-ping list, but she hasn't objected to my pings yet. But I will happily remove anyone at anytime that wants to be left alone.

I knew exactly who this thread was directed at just from the title. Mr. Osborne seems to think that FR should be used as a cheap personal advertizing vehicle for his political campaign when he should realize that there aren't enough FReepers in his district to make a difference. He needs to get out and talk to the voters in his district.

Thanks. Some how this thread went to breaking news unintentionally. I posted this under editorial so I thought. I hit the abuse button so maybe the thread will be removed from Breaking News section.

"My suggestion: if you have ping lists and someone has not responded to them in a month or two, take 'em off.

Worth repeating. But who among the insecure are willing to give up their regrettable need for a positive reinforcement fix?

[CommiesOut]

You pinged everybody but me. Nice...

[nopardons]

Great suggestioned, Please allow me to make another.

Do NOT, under any circumstances, ping people to a thead, in order to start / have a flame war with them.

[patriciaruth]

Oh, you evil person you!!! I will never post my nonping list again. Sorry all you guys and gals. Dump on jj.

[patriciaruth]

Osborne is running for office? I thought he was trolling for chicks.

[jjbrouwer]

He posted something about a soldier the other day. I'm afraid to ask what in case someone pings me.

[dasboot]

Do NOT under ANY circumstances PING SOMEONE (me) to a LIST in ORDER to START/HAVE a FLAME WAR with THEM!!!!!!

I'm sure it's not intentional, but in your case, inevitable!:^)
