I find the Google stuff interesting but almost irrelevant.  The numbers
get so large some times my head spins and it takes a while to unspin.

In a more manageable resource, Nexis, I find:

unring ....... 169 articles
unringing...   20 articles
unrung......   46 articles
unringable ..   7 articles
unrang ......    0 articles
unringer ....    0 articles

For just a little more realistic perspective, all of them came up in the
spell-checker along with unspin..

David
