Unsolicited Ping Lists

Posted on 02/20/2003 5:05:01 AM PST by Lunatic Fringe

Over the past few weeks, I've noticed that I have been added to MANY ping lists without my asking. It seems to me this is much like spam and I should not have to "Freepmail you if I don't want on the ping list."

PLEASE do not add Freepers to your ping list if they do not ask for it. I am a very active user and barely have time to keep up with the lists in which I do participate, threads to which I have posted, and just catching up on the news without having to sort through and respond to unwanted "pings."


TOPICS: Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: chandlerping; chineseduckalert; cuzitaintgotdatping; dontmeanathing; frlectureseries; getpingywitit; ipingbiggerthanyou; lordofthepings; machinethatgoesping; mcgowanwashere; mepingulongtime; mesopingy; offthepings; pingadingdong; pinglists; pingmebaybee; pingpingpong; pingthisthread; swissfamilyping; thisisseries
Thank you!

Hell, I agree with him.
I pinged some people I know to a NASCAR thread and now I am on a ping list.

This would be fine, except that I hate NASCAR.

LMAO! Hardly.
My wife says I am a 'closet redneck'.

I just got too much of NASCAR when I was kid, I guess.

Y'know, those that talk about getting pinged a lot, probably aren't really doing much pinging themselves. So much talk, so little action... Oops, wait, wrong verb... and, uh, I think I'm in the wrong thread. Nevermind.

What is that critter? It looks like a cross between a snail and a skunk.

It's a wee Scotch Terrier.

Good to see you, Arthur.
