"What's a Ping List ?"
A ping list, Marion baby, is a notification to direct people to a particular thread in which the author believes they might have some interest. Anyone can ask to be included on the ping list, and they will be notified of a particular thread. If the crack cocaine hooker signs up for a FReeRepublic account, even she could be on the ping list. Your dealer could be on the ping list. Other mistresses could be on the ping list. Those who have given you bribes could be on the ping list.
