Perhaps am thickheaded John,
Are you saying the prayer ping list, UFO ping list and all other ping list will no longer function if we paste them into the To: window?
What do you prefer we do, instead?
You don't make a comment to ping the list. Instead, at the bottom of the article text, where the topics and keywords are listed, you click "Click to Add Keyword" and type in the name of the bump-list.
Eventually we'll have user created topics, that will be more like little forums, with their own home page, list of members, etc., and these bump lists turned keywords can then become topics.
