I have a confession... I am not real internet or FR savvy and don’t know how to ping. I’m usually just a lurker here, unless my curiosity is peaked about an issue (such as this).
I will try to do it if someone will explain.
I pinged him for you when I responded to you. It is ok. He will come by.
It's also considered polite to 'ping' someone to a post if their name is mentioned in your post. Example, I am posting to you and I mention SE Mom. In the TO: box I would put davandbar; SE Mom.
