I keep getting pinged to acticles about Florida!! I've never been to Florida, don't plan to ever go to Florida and usually don't care what happens in Florida.
I don't know the person who pings me to these threads and have no clue how I got on anyone's ping list. I've never asked to be included on any ping list!
To the best of my recollection, the only ping list I asked to be on is the Astronomy daily thread. I like the pretty pictures. ;o) I think people just see who is commenting on a specific topic, and add them to their list. I do wish Jim could do something to stop this.
