DID I ASK TO BE ON YOUR PING LIST?

Apologies for the vanity post. But I want to rant a bit.
In the past few months, ping lists have proliferated to the point of annoyance. And it is especially irksome to find oneself on a list without having requested inclusion.
There's a word for this: 
.
Ponder this question, Chester: Did I ask to be on your #%&@ing ping list? No? Well, then. Draw the logical conclusion. If I wish to be on your ping list, rest assured you'll be the first to know. But while you wait with bated breath for my entreaty to be a party to your wisdom, I'll thank you not to make the assumption that I consider your blog indispensable.
Personally, I'd like to see pinging stopped entirely, via the placing of a limit on the number of people a post may be directed to -- preferably one, but no more than five, in my opinion. But failing that, it should at least be the case that unsolicited spam has no place on Free Republic.

"un-requested pings are no better than SPAM" Does this mean that you don't want to be pinged to the Arkansas relevant threads?
To: terilyn
"Well you can all ping me any old time you want to " Congratulations; you have just become the first person to be added to every ping list on FR. You're one of those people that takes it personally when there are no posts to you aren't you? Hehehe...
To: katnip
"I'm pinging you here just to annoy you" Hey, how about an "annoying ping to annoy annoying FReepers" ping list?
To: stainlessbanner
Personally, I love being on your southern ping list. Actually I think it is the only one I ever ASKED to be on. I don't always reply, but sometimes when I am on the road for days at a time, it is nice to see what I may have missed. Keep up the good work.
To: BraveMan
LOL!
To: SheLion
What are your interests?
To: Sawdring
Yep. Still do. Keep the good ones coming my way...
To: sweetliberty
Hey, how about an "annoying ping to annoy annoying FReepers" ping list? Yeah, I think the whiners are just looking for attention.
I'm looking forward to the day Jim adds an "ignore this poster" feature so I can add the whiners to mine.

Why haven't I been pinged to this thread at all? Does no one care about me?
To: JeanS
I've asked to be on some ping lists and I've asked to be removed from some others. A friendly request to be removed usually works.
But, but, but you shouldn't even have to ask! Everything should be done at your convenience, for your convenience, and fully in accord with whatever your wishes happen at the time to be. Everybody else should be totally aware of these things and more than eager to accomodate you. I mean, what is the meaning of life if not "To me, by me, for me; no-fault insurance; unemployment insurance paid by the company; health insurance paid by the company; tax refunds even if no taxes have been paid; convenient installment plans at low or no interest rates, generous rebates, and unrestricted return policies"?

"I still think I am a victim somehow" Turn off the news and go see the Two Towers again. You'll get better. Been too much toxic Clintonism on TV lately.
To: sweetliberty
Good tip. Thanks!
To: JudyB1938
BTW, this thread is amazing to me. I just had to opt out of most of the ping lists I am on. It was easy, and all complied with my request. Why Judy, surely that can't be true!
You must have "magical powers"!
It just can't be that easy (now stomping my foot).

Funny. This morning I moved my cursor to the link to remove myself from the Foxhole list, but decided to go look inside. I found myself enthralled with today's subject and (as usual) all choked up. Please DON'T remove me.
