I don’t know you, and though I have an interest in NM, I don’t recall giving permission for my screen name to be on any NM ping list but Cedar Dave’s.

I used Cedar Dave's pinglist -- it's right there on his profile w/ instructions on how to do so.

Don’t you think you should have asked those on his list if they would allow you to ping them?

I rather assumed it was acceptable because all the information is right there on CederDave's page.

I may be in left field here, but I don’t appreciate “spam.”

Well, I apologize if that was incorrect protocol.

Common courtesy should tell one what is “accepted” and what isn’t. I would never be so bold as to assume that because someone gave me a source of potential voters, I could send them all letters requesting funding for my campaign.

I’m thinking you’re looking for support in the form of votes, and were I in that position, I would ask, first.
