I was wondering if you would consider sending a second ping out at about 9:30 at night? Certainly you are under no obligation to do so, but I find sometimes that I’m engaged in reading web sites and forget to flip over to the live thread (or even to turn on the TV).
This ping from the morning is long gone by then, especially with the new “hide your ping” mode of operation.
Respect EveningStar’s ping-thoritah!!
I don't know about you, but it's just good manners to hide your ping most of the time.
I do send a second ping just before 10:00PM Eastern Time to start the live portion of the thread. :)
