A ping is a "notice" you receieve when someone "pings" you to a thread. Most will gladly add you to their "ping lists" on many subjects.

You should receive a "ping" on this just from me answering your question.

It's kid of like in anti-submarine warfare, right? When one sub is looking for another one amidst a whole lot of ocean, he lets out a PING.

The ping reflects off the other guy, telling guy 1 where guy 2 is, and vice-versa.

I am betting that your inexperience will be eclipsed by your arrogance.

Hang around everything will become crystal clear, unless you get run. (zotted)
