Sexton also, IMO, coined the acronym PLONK.

PLONK-Please Log Off, Net Kook- Richard Sexton claims to have
originated the use of the term in newsgroups in 1988. He defined it as
plonk(n): the sound made by an asshole being dropped in your killfile.

Another great piece of triva. Thanks, Jimchip.

I love all this *old* usenet history.
Wish I could have seen it evolve.
