The most recent master list of ping lists is from 2007 (over two years old - egad!). So, after another FReeper suggested tonight that we need an updated master list, I figured, take some initiative. Anyways, if you have a ping list, or more than one, (please) say so on this thread so I can compile a new master list over the next week. [Apologies if this duty was someone else's and I accidentally took over.] Thanks! :)

Do you guys like having folks be able to simply put "..." and have it be on your "New Posts to you List"?

Can somebody explain how Ping Lists work? Is it just a distribution list that I have resident on my computer or is it on FR? How do I create one? I looked for a tutorial on FR but could find anything. Thanks.

With the deluge of threads being posted, and slated to increase greatly as the election heats up, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE .. especially if it's a news/breaking thread ... add the appropriate keywords to your posting form. So, if someone's looking for the latest string of "Obama" or "Sarah Palin" articles, let's say, they just click on that particular keyword at the top of the page, and those articles containing the keyword will come up chronologically. Thank you! Popular keyword options at the top of the main page: ~~~~ *110th *2008 *2008polls *ayers *bailout *barackobama *biden *bo *democrat *democrats *demron *economy...

In the 'pings' set in some comments, besides the expected member names, I have seen the word 'All'. Does that 'ping' the message to everyone who already left a comment on that thread? How about those who comment after? And are there other 'special' words, besides 'All'? Thanks.

copyright, can't post Flap Over pastor hurts Obama http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-05-04-obama_N.htm Another poll by drive-by, another story. Clinton up by 7 pts, which is in complete contrast with NYT's poll for the same period showing Obama up by 12 pts. Take your pick!!!

CNN puts McCain with 97 delegates and Romney at 74. Let's look at the worst case for Romney on Super Tuesday. Next Tuesday the winner-take-all states that lean McCain are New York (101), Missouri (58), Arizona (53), New Jersey (52) Connecticut (30), and Delaware (18) for a total of 312 delegates. (Even though Missouri, another winner-take-all leans Huck right now, lets give its 58 delegates to McCain.) Romney is favored in winner-take-all Utah (36) and Montana (25), for a total of 51 delegates. Thus before the sorting takes place in the other states, McCain's got 409 delegates and Romney's got...

2008 Buick InvitationalMickelson Fit for Play at BuickBy Associated Press - January 23, 2008SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- The Buick Invitational will have the Nos. 1 and 2 players in the world, after all.  After three days of bed rest and antibiotics for respiratory problems, Phil Mickelson said Tuesday he was feeling better and will play in the pro-am Wednesday at the Buick Invitational, paving the way for him to make his '08 debut at Torrey Pines. He also has a practice session planned with swing coach Butch Harmon.  "I'm feeling much, much better," Mickelson said. "I'm happy about that and...

How do I delete items from my "Ping List"? Sorry to bother you with this, but I looked everywhere and could not find any help. I am trying to get rid of a lot of old stuff here and elsewhere on my computer and your server. Thanks, Learner.

Dennis Kucinich sings "Sixteen Tons,"   Dennis Kucinich Ping Pong?  

The first-base coach for the minor league Tulsa Drillers died last week after being struck in the head by a foul ball hit off a wood bat during a game in North Little Rock, Ark. The coach, 35-year-old Mike Coolbaugh, had played briefly in the majors in 2002 and 2003; he leaves a wife and two children. His death adds to the debate about dangers in baseball, which usually focuses on young players struck by balls hit off aluminum bats. Supporters of metal bats insist that debate is skewed. "Why is it when there's an injury from a ball hit...

Deviation from liberalism gets labeled a disease. ``What is wrong with Dick Cheney?'' asks Michelle Cottle in the inaugural issue of the newly relaunched New Republic. She then spends the next 2,000 words marshaling evidence suggesting that his cardiac disease has left him demented and mentally disordered. The charming part of this not-to-be-missed article (titled "Heart of Darkness," no less) is that it is framed as an exercise in compassion. Since she knows that the only way for her New Republic readers to understand Cheney is that he is evil — ``next time you see Cheney behaving oddly, don't automatically...

Barack Obama is taking heat from Jews and homosexuals in the wake of a report in the Los Angeles Times that he was once a "registered" Muslim. The LA Times reports that Obama did not attend a radical madrasa as Fox News claimed earlier this year. But the LA Times discovered that "Obama was registered by his family as a Muslim at both of the schools he attended" in Indonesia as a child. The Obama campaign has consistently downplayed any Islamic connection. The revelation won't play well with many Americans. The Des Moines Register reports today that "Obama's expression of...

His health is rough; he has been the most disastrous vice-president in history; he has lost two wars; he has lost every ally; he is despised in much of the country; he is now going to be the center of all the questions that the Libby guilty verdict raise. Why did he get so exercized about a two-bit critic during a critical time in the Iraq war? Why would he risk losing his most trusted aide by coordinating a media sting on a minor political opponent? Why would he risk committing a crime to pursue Wilson unless he had something...

The campaigns of Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton are in sync not only on the geopolitical importance of Selma, Ala., but also on the issue of whether homosexuality is moral or not. This afternoon, the Obama campaign released the following statement: “As the New York Times reported today, I do not agree with General Pace that homosexuality is immoral. Attempts to divide people like this have consumed too much of our politics over the past six years.”

Dear Larry, I'm a Democrat, and I enjoy your work. And I get very frustrated by those on the left who whine and are thin on the facts. This brings me to my reason for this letter: Global warming. The global warming debate is unique to humanity. If those who advocate "wait and convince more scientists" are wrong, following their advice may affect hundreds of millions of people, with possibly many killed by famine and flooding. On the other hand, if the people who advocate doing something now are wrong, the worst is mostly economic. That's a price I'm more...
