- if you`re going to follow Peters advice on loudly saying PLONK to
- anyone who posts a non-joke, I'd recommend you clean up his canned reply to
- make it a bit more meaningful. For starters, "repost" is spelt either
- "riposte" or "followup", depending on what message you're trying to convey.
-
- Also, I must say that "If you must still insist on showing off your incredible
- knowledge (EGO)" has a rather nerdish and sub-literate feel to it.
-
- Liked your OB-Joke though.
