   You are free to plonk all the threads you want to plonk.   
      
   And you are also free to post about about plonking this and that.   
      
   I would recommend that you do not post about it as it is   
   useless content for other.   
      
   Except if you run a VMS based newsreader and need help on   
   how to plonk. That would of course be a totally relevant topic.   
   But I have a strong feeling that is not the case.   
      
   But maybe consider this: when people read these threads   
   in 10 or 20 or 30 years, then what do you think people   
   will find most useful:   
   A) your rant(s) about Lawrence and talk about plonking   
   B) this subthread covering topics like: syntax for linking   
       shareable images vs syntax for linking with shareable images,   
       use of CLI$PRESENT return code to distinguish between   
       qualifier on verb vs on parameter, difference between   
       SYS$PIPE and SYS$INPUT when using PIPE command   
   ?
