Yes, it is.  It suggests that you go killfile yourself, sparing us the
tediousness.

*plonk*ing someone is a cowardly way of trying to say "I am trying to win
by virtue of trying to make my message the last word."  I fail to be 
impressed; PKB rule clearly applies, as do some others.

Uh huh.  Actually, it was I who recognized you as an old time alt.flame
luser, and I just couldn't resist seeing if you were one of those sissies
who likes to say "*plonk*" but who can't follow through on the
requirement to actually killfile the person and stop replying to further
messages - a fundamental requirement when you "*plonk*".

My "contrived medical example" is currently a product manufactured by a
global household name that's installed in a nearby hospital to which you 
may someday find yourself hooked up to.  HTH, HAND.

Spare yourself the embarrassment of any further public errors.
