And I am now instituting a policy of killfiling the people who quote
messages just to announce they are plonking someone.

accepts personal responsibility for the safety of the body politic of which he
is a member. The civilian does not. Robert A. Heinlein

Have you read "Godel, Escher and BAch, An Eternal Golden Braid" by
Douglas Hofstadter?
;-)
By declaring a policy, rather than a "PLONK!", I think I have some
wriggle room. 'Sides, the last time I publicly "plonked" someone was
June 25 (according to Google) so I'm just about only a 6 month
hypocrite...
