I think I know who you mean too. When I just want to bump an OLD thread, I address a comment to myself and don't bother anyone that way.

I don't keep a ping list, though I will sometimes go to the trouble of doing just what you suggested--pinging everyone on one thread over to another one--if news relating to a hot thread develops.

Next time I see a thread that I think you'd appreciate, I'll just call you and give you the URL. :D
