Swedish ping list? I can barely figure out the posting of a new thread thing yet. You'll have to explain it.
I'll check back later. Hej då!
Don't worry about posting mistakes; we all have made them.
The "ping list" is those who wish to be alerted in case a news story comes up on Free Republic, that they may wish to see.
Charles Henrickson runs the "Swedish ping list," which hollers at everyone interested in Sweden, whenever something shows up on Free Republic about Sweden.
There are hundreds of "ping lists" here, on all sorts of subjects, from Sweden to electric trains to numismatics to pro-life news to economics to Eastern Europe; just about any subject.
It's a list of Free Republic folks--we're up to 49 now--who have an interest in Sweden. Some live in Sweden, some live in the US. When a Sweden-related thread appears here on FR, I (it could be any of the list members, really) send out a "ping" alerting the others on the list that such a thread has appeared.
It's a fairly low-volume list. Today I've sent out two SPL pings, which is unusual; most days there's none or one.
But by being on the list you don't miss a Swedish thread when it does appear.
