    I thought that self-pinging had been switched off ?

 * I refer to older post of mine in an new post.
    I got an email saying I had been
   pinged on that earlier entry by me. Just seems odd…

 * That’s expected and desired behaviour.

 * I’ve done that a couple of times. It allows the user in the old pinged post to
   see the new post that refers to it. ^ Blatant whorish explanation of what allusion
   just said. In simple terms.
