(Vanity)How did I get on so many ping lists? (Vanity)
My "New Posts To Me" thingy | Now | Me

Posted on 01/29/2005 6:14:24 PM PST by birbear

I like feeling wanted, but over the past several months I've noticed I'm getting pinged for things that I don't know (and unfortunately don't really care) about.

The only ping list I remember signing up for is PJ's DUmmie FUnnies.

Most of the other stuff is interesting, and it's nice to be invited into conversations, I'm just wondering if this is a common occurance with FReepers...or am I just odd?

And really most of this stuff didn't start until I started with DUmmie FUnnies... or maybe that's the only time I really started noticing it.

Any answers?

Thanks

Is there a Ping List Ping List?

And THIS thread:

PLEASE TAKE ME OFF YOUR PING LISTS!

Please take me off your ping lists. By the time someone gets around to pinging me, I've already read it all and it's a waste of time.

Not only that, but I often get pinged several times on one thread.

You know what this thread needs? A theme song!

FReepers please stop pinging me

DFU SONG: Baby Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me

When it is time for catching up on the news…to FreeRepublic's where I go
But there's something annoying, my friends…I am sure that you all know

And as I'm looking through my posts, I'm getting p*ssed
I am showing up on everybody's list

Fellow FReepers, please stop pinging me
Good grief, friends, this is lunacy
Fellow FReepers, please stop pinging me
I am pleading, will you set me free?

I am asking you with all due respect…I do it in a pleasant voice
When I'm reading to keep myself informed…the Bilderbergs are not my choice

I am looking through my posts and getting p*ssed
I am showing up on everybody's list

Fellow FReepers, please stop pinging me
Good grief, friends, this stuff is lunacy
Fellow FReepers, please stop pinging me
I am pleading to set me free

Fellow FReepers, please stop pinging me
Good grief, friends, this is lunacy
Fellow FReepers, please stop pinging me
I am pleading to set me free

Lyrics, Doug from Upland

Yes, I know about that list of ping lists, but I was just wondering if anyone had a ping list for people interested in ping list threads, if you catch my drift. Not that I would want to be on such.

Have they worn out your "ping dinger" or is it still
satisfying to you?

Personally, I **LOVE** being on ping lists. :o)
I would much rather IGNORE a dozen pings to threads of limited interest to me...
...rather than MISS an extraordinary thread -- because nobody pinged me.

My only point was that "ping-a-phobia" is hardly a NEW phenomenon on FR:

Has anyone else been put on ping lists without their knowledge?

Sorry for the vanity, but lately I've been getting put on ping lists that I never asked to be on. I was wondering if this has happened to any other FReepers. Anybody else having this problem?

I think Roger Miller's "Dang Me" would work:

Ping me, ping me
Hey, even take a phone and ring me
Hi! from a ping listee
FReeper, would you FReepmail me

What was the actual thread title of Arthur McGowan's CLASSIC "Do NOT ping me!" thread?

I don't believe I'm pinging you...but if I am, just let me know you don't want me to.

I have a Prayer ping list, missing person ping list, Zot & RKBA lists...I am also putting together some state lists that I only ping for Amber Alerts, fugitive alerts, or other URGENT state articles. I am building those lists from the state home pages.

And look, there are four drive-up ping kiosks located in the same neighborhood, marked with a P for ping of course.
