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.

I agree and appreciate the ping lists I have been added to because someone thought I might be interested (they've been right so far) and the ones that I ask to be added to.

Ping!
So glad that you like to be pinged! I love it when people send me articles here at FR. I can't possibly keep up on all the hot topics..
Especially the ones about Hillary!
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
To: Brad's Gramma

I keep a LIVE THREAD ping list for people who want to discuss ongoing events, mostly in the daytime. I'd be glad to add you if you're serious. You don't have to lick a picture of Bush or anything to be on it. :-)
BTW, I'm sorry I'm evidently late answering this post. My MY COMMENTS page is FILLE TO CAPACITY with that spam TLBSHOW is posting to me. I almost missed it.

One pingy-dingy - Ha!
This whole thread overnight turned into one of the funniest ones, I think. I started reading late yesterday and resumed late today where I left off - what a hoot. And heck, I'm still not done reading...

I was just joking, I wasn't really hurt. I hadn't talked to you in a long time & I just wanted to ping you & say Merry Christmas. I see your livetalk thread & I drop in occasionaly & lurk. You don't have to ping me.

Thank you, but I still think I am a victim somehow. No, it's just that no one likes you.
;-)
Personally, I've yet to form an opinion one way or another...
