Perhaps there is a solution. Maybe we could have "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" ping lists. If you want to pint more than 10 people, you must add your ping list to...well....a Ping List Registry. If people want on, they click subscribe. If they want off, unsubscribe.

And Chad, you feel free to ping me anytime.

Is this one of those "don't ask, don't tell" things?

***I will agree that the My Comments page can take a while to load, even via
cable modem. I would suggest that for a future upgrade of the software, one
has the option of turning off graphics on the My Comments page.***

I've often thought that graphics on the My Comments page are a waste of bandwidth. We can see the graphics if we decide to look at the thread. Good thought, jmc.

One other thing that wastes a lot of our time is TRYING to find out who pinged us on a long thread because a long ping list ends with "..." and you can't tell which one has your name on it.

Oh, wow! Sorry to hear about your dad. I hope that 3-6 month prognosis is just the "standard" time they usually say, and that he hangs tough a lot longer.

For what it's worth, I'll throw a fit if you take me OFF the FReeper Foxhole list. Thanks for your good work.

How about an alternative idea, perhaps the ops could code in an option that allows people to ignore msgs pinging them if they have more than X recipients. That would allow people who hate pings lists to completely opt out while still preserving the feature for those who might find them useful.

I think Ping lists have some use for some people, but they should send a private freepmail first asking if the person would find it useful to be pinged for posts on specific topics.
