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.

I agree wholeheartedly but could not have said it as succinctly as southernnorthcarolina.

My greatest dislike for "pinging" is it is so impersonal and especially when your handle isn't even on the list of "pingees"(please don't interpret this to mean I want to be on any ,repeat on any "ping" list).

Another peeve I have is it takes up valuable space in the "My Comments Section" where I go to see what responses I might have received from those who are interested to either criticize or agree with something I have posted or responded to.
