How does one "plonk"? It seems to be a very valuable skill to have.

If you now consider that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bull**** nobody will read. |

I didn't know what it meant so I looked it up in Wikipedia and here is
their definition: Plonk is a Usenet slang term for adding a particular poster to one's kill file such that the poster's future postings are completely ignored. It was first used in 1989 and by 1994 was a commonly used term on Usenet. The word is a somewhat fanciful example of onomatopoeia, intended to humorously represent the supposed sound of the user hitting the killfile (most often like fecal matter hitting the water in a toilet). The meaning of plonking was later explanded to include the usage of email filters that delete incoming email that meets certain filter criteria set by the receiving user. It is commonly used as a verb: "I plonked that idiot". As a public repudiation of the plonked poster, it can be appended to the end of one's reply to demonstrate that you have added that person to your kill file. AJ wrote: How does one "plonk"?
