Why did you ping me to this?
;-)
Because I made a remark in the post I pinged you to about getting chicks with long hair. Since it's only polite to ping people in posts where you talk about them, and since you're one of the chicks, I thought I would ping you.
Additionally, I thought you might have an interest in the thread, if not the story, because of comments you've made on your profile page about your former status as an uninformed voter.
