Thanks for the ping old sport. You could save a little effort next time by replying to the original thread to "All" instead of having to go to the trouble of cobbling up a ping list by hand.

Replying to "All" won't do a dang thing special, so far as I know. It won't actually "ping" anyone. It won't cause your post to show up on the list of messages sent to any of the others.

The "All" just acknowledges to readers that you are writing from a perspective wider than just responding to one previous poster.

If I'm wrong, I'd welcome a correction.
