You could implement it by having the server check any duplicate pings
it receives to see if the pinging page *still* contains the pinged
page's URL -- that way, if you pung the wrong page, you'd remove the
link to it and ping it again...?

I still think that that's a crap idea and it should be done manually by
email, though; it's pretty rare ;)
