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

You have been here since '03. You're kidding, right? Slow learner? Less alert? Asleep at the wheel?
