If I edit a ping into a comment, will it do it's magic?
 
@msh210 - This explanation is also an answer to your question.
 
@YEZ I'm guessing yes, but go ahead and experiment and let us know!

@DoubleAA Ok, here goes
Although it may be different in chat than on site.
 
In chat, I'm pretty sure your target will get a new ping each time you edit a message that is addressed to them. ... so here's another ping. .... and another .... and a fourth. ... and here's an edit without your name, so no ping. And you get pung if a mod hijacks the post with an edit -- AA.
