Ooh, that's absolutely brilliant, Robbie. Did you think of changing my post
all by yourself, or did someone help you?

Ah yes, that time I said *plonk* to everyone I was too stupid to argue with.
I really made a prick of myself. Then there was the fact that I hadn't even
actually killfiled them. All this time, I'd being saying *plonk* and
everyone thought they were being killfiled, but in reality it was just
something I heard one of the big newsgroup kids say and had no idea what it
meant until everyone laughed at me for still replying to their posts, in
some cases *plonk*ing the same person up to three or four times. Jesus, I
sucked. Then, as if that wasn't enough, I tried this sort of "yapping dog"
line out on a few people but really didn't pull it off with any conviction,
and had to stop doing it when I was told to.

Fuck, I've just realised. I've actually called myself an idiot _three_
times. Oh no, hang on, it was you that did all the above. Panic over.
