Excuse me, but Sam pinged his list. Not me. And it was specific to nail one FReeper. If he was mopping up the floor just fine why did he dial up the janitorial staff?
I suppose he thinks more of the pingees on his list than a cheering section. That he was pinging "the staff" to pile on in a flame-war was a ridiculous assertion when you made it in that thread. To continue to assert it tonite is, to quote your rather unremarkable prose, "frankly shocking and disgraceful."
Here's a clue: why don't you ask him why he used his ping list in that thread? You can do it in Freepmail and you don't have to expose your fatuity to the rest of us. Once you find out, keep it to yourself--continuing to plead your case that you were harmed by his thoughtless ping (the horror!) is childish beyond belief.
