Not that I'm trying to start anything.... BUT WHO CARES WHO YOU PLONK?

I mean is it a feeling of authority or power over others?  You want to
control their behaviour?  Is plonking the same as a slap on the wrist?

Myself I have all of two people in my killfile, when I added them I didn't
send a message "plonk" because the purpose of a killfile is to lower useless
traffic.

Anyways, interesting question about GCC, it appears it optimizes "less
optimized" code better which is a point for the general idea of "write clear
code and the let the optimizer optimize it".
