Newby asks "Ping to 'All'"?

Posted on 06/19/2008 4:45:14 PM PDT by Uncle Ralph

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.

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

Thank goodness it didn't also take an act of congress, else none of us would *ever* have gotten posting privileges .....

And now for musical interlude that is completely irrelevant.

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 ;-)

LOL. It's a talent gained from FReeping.

Ah, yes. On the next episode of “A Newbie Asks,” let’s discuss the cosmological essence of “do:pings.”

Lest we forget this guy...

I once stayed up all night arguing with great seriousness about what that song meant. You do things like that when you are in college.

We decided that it meant that we needed more beer.

All is just some Freeper named Al whose last name starts with an l.

He's likes to get pinged a lot, which is why you see so many posts to him.

Do:pings sounds like some network commmand for nefarious reasons.
PFC Ping should be worried.

It's strange how many things mean that when you're in college.

nefarious

now there's a special word.

Is "ping" a usable screenname?

You’re welcome. I was surprised to find this band’s CDs at best Buy.

Dunno if Ping is taken.
Seems like it is.

I also like pinging Rush Limbaugh.

On a sidenote ... Uncle Ralph, you've just created a classic FR thread, perhaps unwittingly, but a classic nonetheless ... welcome to Free Republic :)

A good "Ping to "All" and to "All," a good Ping.

I was surprised to see Nightwish, Tarja Turunen, AND Within Temptation over at the local Wally World.
I figured the world would end.
