Your idea of a 'ping-list', that also gives people's specialities. Great idea! (I think FR should also have that in political subjects.) As time permits, I would like to help compile that for this computer help. I went through a couple of articles & got a list of names, but I didn't keep track of the specific comments. As time permits...
For now, I'll make mention of "chance33_98" on my personal page. Thanks for the input!

Let me know if you need help stripping out names and such. A ton of ways to do it (like save the source and grep/sed/awk) or a full fledge perl script to navigate to the page(s) and do all the work from start to finish. I am going to be wrapped up most of this week (my long work week, 5 nights of 12a-12p) but I usually spend most my nights at work either freeping or studying (the servers run fairly well there, out of 400+ I only avg 1-2 down ones a week).

If you're running windows on a desktop look into cygwin sometime, pretty slick (Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows) Lets you do grep/sed/awk/etc and so on (better than using MS's toolkit for unix, on which I have posted articles previously).

There are a zillion things out there, and it is good to see so many people here with varied experience and knowledge. I have a lot of gaps, good to see them filled in! :)

I have utilized the "My Subscriptions" indexing, that FR provides.
This keeps me up-to-date on the lastest posts on computer related subjects.
You could create a ping list of sorts, like the "bang list" does.

Good luck!
