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

Ah, you mean the Gloom and Doom FReepers? They hate me because I present a positive outlook most of the time and it really annoys the heck out of 'em. Some have become quite unhinged.

Then,as the unhinging gets going real good, I annoy them more by becoming amused by that.

I know the feeling. They hate me because of my nick, which is usually accurate (thus the ish, so still accurate I suppose.) Annoying them by my mere presence for over a year now! Woohoo.

BTW Allegra...can I welcome you home early? Have a safe trip back, k?

I think it's a great screen name.

Maybe I'll come up with an alter-ego screen name...Merry Sunshine. Just to really irritate the malcontents. LOL

Thanks...I'll be home for a visit in...(counting) 62 days!

Being civil doesn't seem to be in your lexicon. Since you are unconcerned about niceties - Go Fruck yourself. Ha Ha. Just kidding…. Not really. I think. Well – maybe. Nevermind.

You want to see un-civil? I'll show you un-civil...
