Swedish ping list? . . . You'll have to explain it.

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.

Well, while Bushwacker777 and torquinus were mulling over the invitation to join the Swedish Ping List, GoLightly snuck in via Private Reply and became

PINGEE #50 ON THE SWEDISH PING LIST! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

Congratulations to GoLightly!

Now the rest of you guys, while you may not be the magic #50, you still can get on the Swedish Ping List any time you want. Just let me know.
