In the 'pings' set in some comments, besides the expected member names, I have seen the word 'All'. Does that 'ping' the message to everyone who already left a comment on that thread? How about those who comment after? And are there other 'special' words, besides 'All'?
Thanks.
Ha!
Now after dinner drinks are required.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that...
In my family, the running shoes would have to be on the feet first before posting.
And now the F-word:
“Fie!” (pronounced “fy”) is a VERY useful word. A general expression of disgust.
Some examples:
“Oh, Fie!”
“Fie and fie again!”
“Fie upon it!” or “Fie upon that!” or “Fie upon you!”
(They didn’t say “Fie you” though, sorry.)
“Tush!” Used alone (unlike Fie above). Sort of a mild exclamation.
“Tush, sir! Surely you jest!”
“Go to!” Period exclamation often used the way we would answer an astonishing statement from a friend: “Get outta here! Really?”
Example: “The king is coming to this dungheap? Go to!”
I would encourage everyone to pick one they enjoy and get in the habit of saying it. It can become quite automatic after awhile. I use “God’s Teeth” a lot. God’s Teeth! This heat is killing me!”
That's a good question! I've been under the impression that it automatically pinged all the folks who had replied on that thread.
Maybe now I'll get an answer to my unasked question...........
Total Recall: “You’ll crack the dome! We’ll all die!”
Got some humor for you.
Read article body first.

Don’t worry, FReepers use any excuse to cut loose and have a laugh.

Its a lot easier now, but back in the old days, when I joined FR, you first had to lurk for 3 months, then pass a written test, before you were given posting privileges
Y’know, I’m not surprised that one might have the David Hasselhoff animation. What is somehow disturbing that one should have it so near at hand as to be able to post it so quickly ;-)
And the entire threads of “Bold off! Bold off! bold OFF! WHY won’t the &@@#! Bold turn OFF?!”
We are reduce to discuss “All” since the AP is off limits. This place is getting boring.
I think there should be a “Newby Asks” series, or archive. This is healthy.
