the list is getting so long it takes time to type in all the names.

Here's what I do with the (currently 48) names on the Swedish Ping List: I type all the names in alphabetical order (with semi-colons as in a multiple-recipient post) and send it out as FReepmail to the list members. That way I've got an easy location in my FR Mail where I can copy the list for pasting-in whenever I post another ping. Then, periodically, when new name(s) are added to the list, I put those in the appropriate place alphabetically and send out a new mail to the list members.

This way I don't have to re-invent the wheel every time. But you would expect such ingenuity from the Swedish Ping List. :-)

Right, sir, the Swedes are ingenious--the finest vaccuum-cleaners in the world, Electrolux.

Since the Norwegian ping list is still relatively short, though, about 30 names--there are after all not many Norwegians around, just as there are considerably fewer Nebraskans than Minnesotans--and I just type them off the top of my head, out of memory.

But sooner or later, I hope the Norway ping list is so long I HAVE to write down the names on a piece of paper, or store them on the computer somewhere, and do a copy-and-paste sort of job.
