sorry. *plonk* is the sound of a name being thrown in a killfile. That
is, to plonk somebody is to tell your mail-/news-client not to show
any of his or her mails any more. So Jim won't receive this posting,
because he plonked me. That leaves me in the strange situation of not
being able to defense myself against his accusations - in general, you
shouldn't talk to people who you've just plonked... ;-)

Wolfgang (whose killfile is still empty anyway).
