When you start your own political website, then you can enforce any ground rules you want for posters. JohnHuang2 does a great service for many FReepers by keeping them informed of significant and worthy threads. I don't mind scrolling through the "pings" and I believe the vast majority of FReepers don't either. There's only a few sour weenies like yourself, that have to let everyone know how pissed off and inconvenienced they are. Big deal.
Geez, get a life!
I don't mind scrolling through the "pings" and I believe the vast majority of FReepers don't either. Well, this one certainly doesn't. I appreciate being on John's list. I'm sure anyone who wants to be removed could nicely ask, and he would remove them.
John, please keep flagging and pinging me. Otherwise I would miss many of these threads.
