IN the words of Monty Python . . .
Spam, spam, spam, spam,
Spam, spam, spam, spam,
Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam,
Spam, Spam, spam,
Spam, spam, spam.
Spam, spam ... well you get the idea.
Just kidding. I'm glad you're doing it.

Nothing wrong with being a redneck. Though I will never fully qualify most likely since I have no plans of ever owning a pickup. Though I have considered getting a $500 beater just to have for the hell of it.

And living near FuquayWhy's your page say Apex? Apex ain't near Fuquay!! It's a good ten miles or so as the crow flies. Do you know where you live? I don't know anyone from Fuquay that even comes close to Cletus. Now some of these tourists that come down here from West Virginia and other foreign parts.... LOL

Here's a simpler solution: Add a separate link for ping-list pings only, separate from the 'My Comments' link. That at least segregates them to one area, and declutters the 'My Comments' page dramatically.
This seems like it would preserve the status quo, but mitigate the annoyingness factor.
Maybe a solution is to let users sign up for the ping list/notification list. For example, why not be notified when a post goes to our Dixie Group Post list? That way, we wouldn't have to ping everybody, just post to the group and all Dixie list members get notified.
Right now, you have to go and check the Group Post (ok, so I'm lazy). Any thoughts?
PS: I would personally prefer to get notified a few times of interesting posts/articles that not at all! We can always ignore them...

Well, i am closer than most of Apex. I can hit a golf ball into Holly Springs. I am right on the border. Cooley's is only a short car trip.
Apex is also a lot bigger than people think. Part of it is even in Chatam County!

Whatever you do, don't ping Arthur!

I love being "pinged" on NC issues, but I lurk alot more than I post. Many times by the time I get to read something, several have voiced opinions similar to my own.
I can seldom stay on more than a few minutes at a time...this morning I was going to reply on the "testing scores" thread, but was lead away by my two year old...and that's the norm. But anyway...
Thanks for the NC pings!

I've only ever asked to be on the Mark Steyn ping list. (all the cool people are) Of course it is! It is the equivalent of the Washington A list. hehe
For everybody's info: I have 5 separate ping list: Steyn, Sullivan, Noonan, Krauthammer; & Coulter. I keep them separate as alot of people may be a fan of one, but not of another. I also only add someone at their request. I've only had 1 person asked to be taken off of a list. If anyone wants off, all they have to do is ask.

I try to use my ping list sparingly and also use the following note.
Please notify me via Freepmail if you would like to be added to or removed from the Alleluia Ping list.

Hey C! I like your idea too. See how productive and creative we can be!!
To: EggsAckley
How do you get on the "curmudgeon" list?
To: Constitution Day
Love it. (except that with all the Edwards news, sometimes ignorance would be bliss)
To: EggsAckley; Arthur McGowan

oops
To: EggsAckley
"
Is this bugging anyone else, or am I the only curmdgeon in these here parts?"
No, I find this also.
I appears to be the "Paul Revere" syndrome!
Much like the asses that blare their car radios trying to be "disc jockey's" to the world.

Thanks for the ping, CD. There's nothing like a ping list hijacking a thread about ping lists ... except maybe the smell of napalm in the morning.
