 * Hi all!
    I know my problem is really stupid but using Google I’ve found no solution.
   It’s easy: when I link an old post in a new one, I would like that it didn’t 
   send any pingback to my blog by default, since I don’t like to see the trackback
   to my new post in the old one comments. I could not find an option to avoid this
   behaviour, am I missing something or there’s an easy way to solve this little
   annoyance?
 * Thanks in advance 🙂

 * One option is to use relative path instead of absolute path.
    There also used
   to be a plugin to stop this self-pinging… I just don’t remember where did I see
   it.

 * Thank you!
    Searching for the keyword “self-pinging” [I found the plugin](http://blogwaffe.com/2006/10/04/421/),
   even if using relative urls is another good, and simple, solution. Thanks again
   🙂
