<networking, abuse> (Possibly influenced by
British slang "plonk" for cheap booze or

"plonker" for someone behaving stupidly;

usually written "*plonk*")
The sound a newbie makes as he falls to the bottom of a kill file.
While this term originated in the Usenet newsgroup talk.bizarre,
by 1994 it was widespread on Usenet and mailing lists
as a form of public ridicule.

Another theory is that
it is an acronym for "Person with Little Or No Knowledge".

Oh gratuitous! Admittedly, you're just saying that this is a possible
conclusion from a somewhat specious argument, but all the same, who
would want to plonk Joona?

The point is that the newbie, being a newbie, doesn't know whether Joona
is a highly plonkable member of the newsgroup or not. Therefore, the
newbie can't decide between the conclusion suggested by Chuck and the one
suggested by myself.

There was no implied judgment WRT Joona in my previous post.
