 * I’ve only just now noticed that I have lost a major feature in WP1.5. Unless 
   someone can point it out for me, I can no longer prevent automatic pingbacks 
   for urls in my post. I used to be able to clear a checkbox to prevent it fronm
   hitting sites I know will not be able to accept the ping. I do this on a regular
   basis, and sometimes it causes a slow down when posting. I see the “Send trackbacks
   to:” optioin, but that doesn’t really help me in this situation. There is also
   an option in the Discussion Options area, “Attempt to notify any Weblogs linked
   to from the article (slows down posting.)” but that controls all posts. I want
   to be able to control it per post. It looks like it’s become an all or nothing
   setting. Not good.

 * Isn’t it in the advanced writing options, TG? You could just set your writing
   options to automatically go advanced when writing posts and you’ll always see
   the option.

 * I read that option “Allow pings” to be for _incoming_, whereas what TG (and I
   and others) would like is an option to switch pings on / off from us per post.

 * Oh….I thought it worked both ways….I never realizied. (Quite honestly, never 
   paid attention.) Other than to remember to shorthand my own links to avoid pinging
   myself.

 * Already using the advanced controls… and yes, podz has got my issue spot on. 
   Most times I do want it on, but in some cases, I know the site I’m linking to
   doesn’t support it, and sometimes I link back to other posts in my own site….
   I supposed I *could* turn it off globaly, publish my post, then turn it back 
   on…. but that’s a load.
