LATimes ^ | July 18, 2006 | Megan K. Stack

Waiting around Beirut with bags packed and fingers crossed, U.S. citizens derided the embassy for busy phone lines, a lack of information and gnawing uncertainty over when and whether they will get out.

You are supposed to ping those you are talking about. Now, where is that shrubbery admonishment when I need it.

Now, if it can be proven that you guys have conversed in the past would that make you a liar? I would say no, because you probably do not remember as I understand it is hard to remember everyone you speak with.

I told you to read the thread. And if you'd read my post #1258, the very last sentence says that
bykr babe can't be pinged because she's banned.

You know the rules. When speaking of another poster, make sure you ping that poster.

You can still put her name in the To:

Plus I was referring to pinging me when you talk about me.

You're making entirely too much sense.

And she who shall be ignored seems to forget she admitted she was talking about me upthread when she discussed a freepmail. But huh - imagine this - I didn't get a ping despite her lectures that people shouldn't be talked about behind their backs. Something about glass houses is coming to mind...LOL.

Others would be admonished or possibly even suspended if they kept it up.

Before you may post this message, the following must be corrected:

* Could not find anybody named 'bykrbabe'


I don't see your name in #1282.

Though we are a much larger country, we have pretty close to zero except when urban blacks get insulted by something, then they protest by burning their own homes a bit and their neighborhoods.

Of course after that they complain they have nothing! Go figure.

See #1299

You can still post her name in the To: box

Works just as good when you are talking about someone, either by name or name calling.
