It's not the same thing to see what I'm talking about click on my name to my profile then find in forum. Check the threads I was pinged to by davidosborne and count the number of times per thread. You will notice that the pings are from a ping list. That means a bunch of us are being pinged several times to the same thread.
I asked the freeper several times to remove my name from it and the request was ignored. This is actually spamming. Even his continious post of mail me to be removed remind me of e-mail spammers who say click here to be removed from this list. A simple post saying please remove me from your list should be enough. It is not my responsibility to keep reminding him. If he want's a ping list it's his responsibility to insure it doesn't become a problem for others.
