Aren’t you still in the reserves?

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Drop that attitude.

Quit stalking me pinging me to threads that I’m not even on.

If you are still angry about Dr.Brantly coming home for medical treatment and living, then go back to that thread and post there.

No! Our guys would rather go back to Iraq and Afghanistan than this! Ugh, they better not call up my son’s unit for this! They are currently deployed so probably not. It is still very bad news.

Apparently you don’t understand the purpose of a ping. One only pings people to threads they are not already on!

There’s no point in pinging someone to thread when they are already there is there???

People are pinged when the pinger thinks that they have an interest in the topic of the thread.

You, sir or ma’am, have shown a vital ongoing interest is spreading the word on Ebola threads, that Ebola is not particularly dangerous and there is no danger importing Ebola patients into the US.

You have also strongly implied that you are ex-mil.

A thread that indicates ex-mil may be called up to fight Ebola in Africa therefore, as far as I know, intersects two of your vital interests.

It’s only fair that I give you a heads up that you, personally, may be affected by the contents of the article.

I’m torn between being concerned for your health, or pleased that you could now have an opportunity to prove the strength of your faith.

So, are you apt to be called up or not?

Will you go if called?

No, you post to people on a thread, you do not start calling people to threads that have nothing to do with you and have not requested to be on a ping list.

I have told you not to try to drag me onto threads that I’m not on, so lay off.

You can also lay off all that smarmy phoniness you just pretended.

If you are already on a thread and I post to you, you accuse me of stalking.
