The message
from "Franz Heymann" contains these words:

I promise you that I did nothing to cause that top posting. If you look at
the birth of the thread, you will notice that it was the initiator, RR, who
did it. Most of the subsequent correspondents like me, and, of course you
as well (twice on 07/08, tut,tut) just continued without looking at the
crossposting list.
The trouble with *not* following on with crossposting after an initially
crossposted note is that you don't know which of the ng's the oribinator
actually reads. As sure as I am sitting here, he/she does *not* read all
the ng's to which he/she has crossposted. However, I agree entirely with
you that it is a lousy habit.

Most of the groups I subscribe to have a killfile filter for two
crossposts or more. I forgot, or for some reason did not include in my
plonking, URG.

However, those items I have crossposted were intended to have been, as
my newreader defaults to 'reply to group', and I have to make a concious
choice to crosspost.

Good, innit.

Oh never mind *PLONK*

Now wasn't that fun? Frank vented, you vented, and then you got to
advertize loudly that you have "plonked" him. I think you should thank
Frank.

Let me guess ...

*PLONK*

:-)

Gosh what fun

*PLONK*

I'd rather have a beer if it's all the same to you.

Well that's really complicated things (but I am a simple soul). Does this
mean I can add to the very top as long as I add something at the bottom
aswell?

Of course, lots of people do, when they want to say something which is
not a direct reply to text.

(Kay, I'm joking)

Really?

The alcohol content of plonk can be increased markedly as follows:
Pour the wine into a "conical" pyrex dish. The sort of thing one uses as a
jelly mould.
Freeze it hard.
Put it upside down in a shallow soup bowl
Allow it to unfreeze slowly.
The first liquid which comes off is of considerably higher alcohol content
than the original wine.
Pour off the liquid frequently, and taste it as you go.
The alcohol content decreases as time passes, until at the end the melt is
almost pure water.
The trick lies in making the decision when you should start discarding the
remainder.

I used to treat gallons and gallons of home made wine in this way. It
rendered the stuff potable.

No. I have never managed to reach that level. I would compare it more to a
sherry or a vermouth in alcoholic content. (But not in taste!)
