Can I ask you something via e-mail?


Pardon my querry, what does the Ping do in the subject line?


It's a computer term used mainly in reference to cross server
communications in which a "ping" (small packet of data) is sent to
confirm that the other server is alive (connectible). In the event that
a server receives a ping, a pong is sent back which is a conformation
data packet made up of EPOCH time.

But in this case, consider it a "hey you"..
