Living in one of the countries that has abandoned British gongs, I have to say that I understood the quote to mean exactly what tsuwm did, and I'l wager good money that the writer did mean exactly that - the gongs themselves were considered evidence of British mingiess, and so dropped, as being of no consequence. Perhaps living here made it easy, but I'm surprised that anyone could interpret the comment differently - its meaning was crystal clear to me, and I would just about guarantee that if you asked 100 K1W1s to read the statement, 90 of them would say the same thing.

Well, for that, one would have to know that a gong wasn't necessarily a gong.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [light bulb e]
Nah, surely not: it's way too convoluted...[second thought e]
But look at who-all does it... [am I being too suspicious but they really do have weird senses of humor e]
But--could the ones (1's) in place of the i's in Kiwi refer to snake eyes when 2 dice are rolled, each with one dot up? (Snake) eyes = i's?
If I don't get some other explanation, I'm going to assume that this one is it, because otherwise I am going to lose it completely: every time I see that "spelling" I cannot bring myself to put, I read it phonetically as key-one, we-one, and I can't stand it any longer, I tell you!
