DID I ASK TO BE ON YOUR PING LIST?

Apologies for the vanity post. But I want to rant a bit.
In the past few months, ping lists have proliferated to the point of annoyance. And it is especially irksome to find oneself on a list without having requested inclusion.
There's a word for this: 
.
Ponder this question, Chester: Did I ask to be on your #%&@ing ping list? No? Well, then. Draw the logical conclusion. If I wish to be on your ping list, rest assured you'll be the first to know. But while you wait with bated breath for my entreaty to be a party to your wisdom, I'll thank you not to make the assumption that I consider your blog indispensable.
Personally, I'd like to see pinging stopped entirely, via the placing of a limit on the number of people a post may be directed to -- preferably one, but no more than five, in my opinion. But failing that, it should at least be the case that unsolicited spam has no place on Free Republic.

Why, thank you. And Chad, you feel free to ping me anytime. : ) (This falls squarely under the Nothing To Get Uptight About category, for me.)
To: AntiJen
You can keep me on your ping list, AntiJen - I'm not afraid of new things... :0)
To: Chad Fairbanks
and, don't pet the sweaty stuff... :0) OHHH, the hubby is gonna be sad. ;-)

Hey, girl, where have you been keeping yourself?
To: sit-rep
Ping lists are for groupies and clubies. I put them in the same catagory as "homeowner association" types.
To: southernnorthcarolina
I agree. Why should "Latest posts to you" be cluttered up with all of this nonsence?
I would appreciate it if people would remove me from every - and I mean every - ping list. If I want on one, I'll ask in a nice way. Otherwise, I'd prefer not to be bothered.
Do I really need someone to tell me that Peggy Noonan has written a column? I don't think so.
Do I really need someone to tell me that Michelle Malkin has written a column? I don't think so.
And then there are the Tancredo/immigrant "Ping lists". If I want to read about Tancredo - and I often do - I don't need someone to bug me about it.
Give it a break, you "Ping List" obsessives.

Just extremely busy - how've you been, wimpy? You may ping me anytime, also. : )
To: Joe Hadenuf
Nobody needs to ping you anyway, Joe, because if there's an illegal immigrant anywhere to be found on FR, you'll sniff him out on your own.
To: GraniteStateConservative
OK, thanks for letting me know. You've been removed.
