This ping list is comprised of all those who have expressed an interest in the Ball on this thread.
I wrote an IE plugin that is nearly finished that will got through a thread from start to finish and scrape a out a ping list of everyone who posted to the thread, delete duplicates, and delete exclusionary names on the list. It then formats the list into a delimited text string ready for ping posting...
Is this somthing you guys would be interested in having? For instance this thread with over a thousand posts would be distilled into a ping list in about 1 minute with a high speed connection.
The plug in version is half done, and a stand alone mini browser version is 90% done...just needs some final testing and polishing. The stand alone is written in VB, and the plug in is C# .NET
Let me know.
Another feature of the device is that it manages ping lists, lets you shift names into lists, merge lists, name lists...etc etc
