When people type "All" into the subject line, that's how it should appear to people being flagged (in the self-search page). That would make it easier for people to avoid being spammed.
I agree, I’ve already been pinged several times by the all thing, and would prefer not to have been. If someone wants me to take the time to read their post they should at least have to take the time to type my name. Otherwise I guarantee that freepers, being the attention starved types we are, will abuse this to no end.

The All feature is being abused as we speak. Someone (who will remain nameless) is pinging me back to an Anthrax thread and I really coulnd't care less about it. Kill it now, John! It was a nice idea but it just isn't going to work.

I wonder what all the people who posted on this thread will think when they come back and their self-search registers two dozens hits to this thread...

If people really need to ping everyone, they can collect the names from the thread.

I agree...I dont like the all feature..I currently have a bunch on my now limited self search..BTW it would be nice to be able to edit the self search..(delete after you have read or responded) Some I like to keep for future reference..but like this thread I am not interested :>))
