Perhaps you could edumacate me.

Just HOW is it that

AFTER I’ve

ALREADY taken you OFF a ping list . . .

I can CONTINUE TO RELENTLESSLY TAKE YOU OFF AS YOU SEEM TO RELENTLESSLY DEMAND?

HOW DO I REMOVE SOMETHING THAT’S NOT THERE???

Is this more of the unreal mystified magical magicsterical dogma from the VATICAN ALICE IN WONDERLAND SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY AND REALITY MANGLING?

Or is this part of the white hanky matrix?

I confess I’m absolutely clueless about how to remove something that’s already been removed.

Dear Quix,

“Perhaps you could edumacate me.”

Happy to help.

Look at the address line on the post to which I'm replying.

I see my screen name followed by a long list of other screen names, followed by an ellipsis (...), which means that there are more names than appear on the screen name.

All those names comprise a list. You are pinging them all (including me). That's called a “ping list.”

Now, when this post shows up in my pings, all I see is that you've pinged me. And a whole bunch of other folks. I'm included, at least on an ad hoc basis, in your ping list, at least the ping list of the moment.

If you're saying, “Well, I've removed you from my list, I won't ping you again, but I'm pinging you AND the list to this post,” that's fine. But I don't have any way of knowing that's what you've done. You haven't been quite crystal clear that you will cease pinging me. In fact, you've kinda indicated that you just might in the future.

So, if you have actually removed me from your ping list(s), ad hoc or otherwise, and will not be pinging me again, then thank you.

But here's a hint, if you feel the need to discuss something with me and you ping an entire list of folks when you do, then you have included me on one of your ping lists.
