Pity Party Ping List
today | me

Posted on 11/25/2006 3:36:24 PM PST by michigander

This is to see if there is an interest in a ping list to alert folks in order to lend sympathy to a given screen name that is threatening to leave FR for some reason or another. (Not to be used for an actual opus as they attract enough attention on their own)


TOPICS: Cheese, Moose, Sister; Chit/Chat; Weird Stuff
KEYWORDS: pinglist
I will keep attempt to keep this list to the best of my ability, just ask to be added....

Does it involve any breath holding until turning blue?

Doesn't need to be a thread, just a simple reply can be enough to trigger this.

People are free to do whatever they wish: come and go! It's their choice on how they chose their exit, either with elegance...or not!

Is there a 'Ciao, don't let the screen door hit you on the way out' ping list?

Just wondering, not that I want on any more ping lists....

Someone has to be there to make sure the door doesn't hit them as they say they're wanting to find the way out.

I don't know? Never heard of it.
This will be a 'Ciao, don't let the screen door hit you on the way out' if you just threaten to do so list.

No, specifically not.
It's to use if a screen name says they're considering leaving FR.
That way the list will know to come forth and lend aid and comfort to avoid the demise of FR itself.
Perhaps it can be thought of as an opus avoidance list.
