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.

John - Thanks for the ping.
Please don't take me off your ping list (*grin*)
SNCarolina - jeesh - it would have taken you less time to Freepmail whoever's pinging you than to post this vanity.
Edit your setup. It's not that hard.

I just found out my dad has lung cancer and he has 3-6 months to live. Some things are more important than a freaking ping listI am so sorry to hear that!! I will be keeping you and your father in my prayers.
Blessings, trussell
To: southernnorthcarolina
I hope you took at least as much time
Thanking a Service Man or Woman
as you did posting this thread.
To: wimpycat
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.Thanks wimpy. I show up on those threads to help bring attention to the problem. What is your purpose for showing up on threads regarding illegal aliens?
To: JohnHuang2
Hey, I love pings. Ping me as much as you want, I just don't have the time I need to respond to all of them but, I'll try. ;-)
To: JohnHuang2

Mhking is the only one of you three that pings me, with a request I might add, I wish to be included on MeeknMing and Howlin's lists. Thank you and happy pinging.
To: JohnHuang2
I guess since it was I who 1st nicknamed you King of Ping
that you can leave me on your list. LOL
To: fatima
