How many people did you put on your ping list? I was on the list twice. I don't remember ever having conversations with you online, nor do I remember expressing any remote interest in poetry and potpourri. As I scrolled through the thread, I noticed that there were many others that asked to be taken off.

I don't know if there are official pinging rules, but at the least, your use of it seems to me to be a violation of netiquette. It's the ping equivalent of spam (perhaps we should call it getting spanged). I would suggest you use an opt-in ping in the future, not opt-out. In other words, "if you want to be on the list, let me know." Making a monster-sized list and forcing people to tell you if they want off the list is just rude.

Btw, if you haven't figured it out, take my name of the list. Both occurences. Thank you.

*Spinged*, I'd think.

But I'm glad to be on the list, meself.
