The sound-effect "plonk" is the traditional onomatopoeia for the sound of a person (or E-mail address, or whatever) hitting the bottom of one's killfile. (For avoidance of doubt: a "killfile" is simply a list of addresses, et cetera, for which one wants one's E-mail client or newsreader or similar to hide, mark read, or otherwise ignore - in the vernacular, to "kill" - any messages which originate from that address. It doesn't, by itself, indicate any wish of harm towards the referenced person. The act of killfiling someone on a mailing list or in a newsgroup is analogous to blocking someone on Twitter or similar, in that any further postings which that person may make you will no longer see.) -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw
