Hi Sluggers,
Does this list-service tolerate 'public ridicule' to a reasonable comment ?
I research *plonk* and it gives me this:
*plonk* [USENET: possibly influenced by British slang `plonk' for cheap booze] The sound a {newbie} makes as he falls to the bottom of a {kill file}. Used almost exclusively in the {newsgroup} talk.bizarre, this term (usually written "*plonk*") is a form of public ridicule.
The above can be check from:
