Se è su Usenet significa che tale tizio è un lurker, ovvero uno che
legge e non posta. Sinonimi sono "read-only user" e "luser" (fusione
di loser e user).

I agree.  Y++ just doesn't cut it, even for Gaylon.  But it seems
so pointless to try and codify degrees of perfection.  The twink
is, after all, a remarkably well-defined creature.  Unlike those
furry mammals (?), twinks have nearly unlimited media exposure.
There is very little room for variation.  I suppose we could
develop Twinkie Forms.  There are a few ideal forms:  the 
muscle form; the young, gangly form; the smouldering artsy
form; the bubbly-butted form; and, of course, the blond form.
Let's expatiate:
  Muscle form - the muscle twink has a non-naturally occurring 
  degree of muscle tone.  Some people are born naturally strong.
  But this is quite something else.  Each muscle is carefully
  sculpted and defined.  One must work to achieve this state.
 
  Young form - typically known as 'chicken.'  The young twink
  is more than young.  The young twink *looks* young.  The
  young twink *acts* young.  The young twink *embodies* youth.
  Gangly form - thin and pretty - arms too long, legs too long,
  that sort of thing.  Perhaps well toned, but not overly
  developed muscles.  There is a certain sense of disproportion
  to the gangly twink.  Splat's preferred type...
  Artsy form - not a physical form.  More a state of mind.
  Brooding, pouty, arrogant.  Makes "statements" - be they
  fashion or otherwise.  
  Bubbly-butted form - the twink is an object of lust, and
  what better focus for lust than a luscious rear-end?  The
  bubbly-butt is an ass which is firm and round.  It extends
  behind the plane of the twink's back.  It pushes out the
  fabric of denim jeans, yet there remains two distinct 
  halves to the butt.  It is not a bulbous mass of soft
  flesh.  It is two solid lobes.
  Blond form - pretty damn obvious, eh oui?  This may be
  natural or otherwise, though naturally, natural should be
  considered superior to artificial.
The Twink-Hawk:  the twink-hawk may or may not meet any of
the above criteria.  The Twink Hawk, however, lives to
feed on those who do.
If we were to take the first letter of each form, we would
have M, Y, G, A, B, B.  Well, we can't have duplication, so
perhaps 'blond' should be indicated with a lower-case 'b.'  It
is, after all, by far the easiest attribute to change.  
The problem I have is with degree.  I mean, does it really
make sense to say Jason Priestley has a B+, and Keanu Reeves
has a B++, but River Phoenix only has a B?  I mean, like
anybody would turn down the opportunity to play with River
Phoenix's buns?  And with muscle-form, surely there is a cut-off?
I mean, is The Arnold really a Twink?  And does it make sense
to be "more than blond?"
I think, perhaps, we must settle on shades of twink.  Though
that lessens the visual impact of the twink code.  And since
the very essence of twinkdom is visual appearance, that would
seem the wrong thing to do.  
I think a Twink Congress is in order.
