What does "Ping" mean?

Posted on 07/02/2006 7:57:20 AM PDT by maineman

I see so many people asking to be put on the 'ping list', what does that mean?

I also see that you can be 'pinged' if something you are interested in is posted. Are you notified someway?

Thanks

I wish I had save some the crap that has come my way over the years.

You and me both. ;-) I come up against the "real winners" on a regular basis.

I'm beginning to think people need to pass a mandatory manners test in order to gain membership. An IQ test might not be a bad idea, either. The rudeness and low IQ tend to go hand-in-hand in most cases, though.

A question like yours from a three year member was bound to bring out all the jokesters. You need to get on a ping list for zot threads........then you can join in the fun.

I dunno - I just grabbed it off tinypic.com yesterday. Hope the lady was not badly hurt. Looks like grabbing for the trap door may have slowed her descent

Lonliness of the Long Distance Runner - great early sixties 'angry young man' British cinema. One of the best of the genre.

If you don't want a bunch of replies, I'd recommend maybe asking your question privately, to someone you know, instead of posting a whole new thread for your one little question. If you've been here as long as your date says, you ought to know that vanity threads are joked with. They're ~jokes~ buddy, lighten up :~)

I think it's an 'antiping'. Or- 'gnipitna', if you prefer.

Aah! I see you have the machine that goes 'ping'. This is my favourite. You see, we lease this back from the company we sold it to, and that way, it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

Thank you. Thank you. We try to do our best. Well, do carry on.
