What I find most disturbing is the fact that you just
used the word "just" 3 times is your last sentence.
This is probably just an indication that my medication
just needs to be ad*just*ed.

Well, yeah, but think of a killfile as a very, very deep well in
which you're tossing the person or persons you no longer wish
to read.
It's a *deep* well. Hundreds of feet down. *Way* down. So far
down Arne Saknussem couldn't find them.

So your killfile drops people into Atlantis with Kathy
Ireland?

cleanup in the morning.)

Pardon me if I am wrong, but doesn't this imply that a killfile is
already sorta deep? I mean, if you have ten people in your killfile, a
*plonk* would be feasable:
<xxxx...@xxxxxxx.xxx> |
<xxxx...@xxxxxxx.xxx> |
<xxxx...@xxxxxxx.xxx> |
<xxxx...@xxxxxxx.xxx> |
<xxxx...@xxxxxxx.xxx> |
<xxxx...@xxxxxxx.xxx> |
<xxxx...@xxxxxxx.xxx> |
<xxxx...@xxxxxxx.xxx> |
<xxxx...@xxxxxxx.xxx> |
<xxxx...@xxxxxxx.xxx> \|/
*plonk*
However, what if your killfile only has two people?
<xxxx...@xxxxxxx.xxx> |
<xxxx...@xxxxxxx.xxx> \|/
*clank?*
In an alternate viewpoint, a killfile could be a metal-walled dungeon
into which plonk-ees are dropped.

In this case, the only place where a *plonk* is not acceptable is if
the victim falls on another one.

You mean the FAQ? Or were you trying to avoid having to pay royalties?

It depends on the heaviness of the address being dropped. For example:
e...@aol.com would cause a {THUP}, whereas
TheFamou...@ne.mediaone.net would make a satisfying [FWAMPWUMP!]

Well, let's test it, shall we? *plonk*
I don't know, that's the sound it always makes and I've killfiled
everyone and their mother.

I hope you've put some Air Fresheners around it. I can imagine the
stench...

No, no--beyond that. It drops them *below* that Atlantis, into
the Atlantis of the animated Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Wouldn't that be a *sploosh* rather than a *plonk*, then?

Nah, I have a guy from the Vincent Price Acid Pool Service
clean it once or twice a month during those periods of

Oh, pshah, like they were ever gonna resolve it? Ever let them
find their way home? I *don't* think so. Me, I was traumatized just by
that thing being *on*... I've always had a low tolerance for the
"they'll never find their way home... EVER" genre, which is a pity
given how many shows, some of them good, take it as a given (Voyager,
JttCoE, Land of the Lost, Quantum Leap...)

Well, I have a Killfile of Holding, so it's not necessarily large, since it
appears to be just a 2 by 2 square, but it has an unlimited capacity, and I
can, if I choose to do so, reach in and grab anything that has been
plonked. (Whoa! Whoa! Slow down there, egghead!)
Anyway, what I'm saying is, my Killfile is actually rather silent... More
of a rubbing cloth sound, I guess, as the message enters.
