Thanks Bahbah. I always tell folks to let me know if they want off the Southern pings. I appreciate when other folks send a ping my way - it helps me get the news I'm interested in; it's easy to miss good articles.
An alternative to ping lists might be a better published use of the "group lists". Just a suggestion.
Personally, I love being on your southern ping list. Actually I think it is the only one I ever ASKED to be on. I don't always reply, but sometimes when I am on the road for days at a time, it is nice to see what I may have missed. Keep up the good work.
