For those who's emaculately perfect "my comments" page has been defaced by the horrible evil pings from this so aweful dreaded thread and can't seem to hold back the attitude... have a cigarette and a 'nice hot cup of 'shut the you know what'. "A please remove me from any and all ping lists" in normal font size and lower case would be sufficient in a FReepmail. Posting comments in the thread merely wastes more of your precious space.
However, I agree the pings are starting to get out of hand and sometimes off subject from the interests of some of the FReepers or has no relation to them at all. The Bump List Register is supposed to be used for purposes of seperating subjects like these to be found more easily. Of course it's supposed to be converted to a 'Topic List'. A good suggestion would be to have a ping sign up for specific subjects rather than broad topics such as 'Breaking news', 'Vanity', etc.
