I agree. But it sure is strange that different people are using identical ping lists. Jim should limit lists to maybe ten to twenty names. Then people wouldn't be so inclined to load up on every name they can find.

I consider ping lists the most useful feature of FR and would be very disappointed if they went away. Indeed, it's the only reason I signed up - to get on a couple ping lists I found interesting.

So because some people abuse ping lists, everyone should be restricted? I ran a poll ping list during the three months before the election, and had almost 100 people on it - every single one of them asked to be on. I never added a single person who didn't request it. And at the end of every post, I indicated that anyone who wanted on or off should just send me Freepmail. But if you had your way, I guess I'd have been shut down.
