Kinda like a kidney stone; can hurt enough to have certain FReepers want to share the pain with others.

ping [from the submariners' term for a sonar pulse] 1. n. Slang term for a small network message (ICMP ECHO) sent by a computer to check for the presence and alertness of another. The Unix command `ping(8)' can be used to do this manually (note that `ping(8)''s author denies the widespread folk etymology that the name was ever intended as acronym `Packet INternet Groper'). Occasionally used as a phone greeting.

When you want to alert someone to a particular story, you ping them. There are several ping lists here for different types of things.

Do we have to start a new thread everytime we don't understand something?
To: Callahan
Aren't FReepers so warm & friendly to newcomers?
LOL
