There is no truth in it.              I have found, over the years on Usenet, that the word "troll" is most       often bandied about by those who have decided not to participate in a       newsgroup they had previously. Their excuse is "trolls" which btw       afh-p has always had its fair share.              Usenet is an open forum which anyone can participate without there       being any possible way to refuse that participation. This rule would       include you and yours. ;)              If you choose not to, that is your decision. By definition, though,       you and yours become the trolls. Drive by trolls to be exact, popping       in only to disrupt the participation of those who regularly habitat       the newsgroup.              Troll, participate, do as you desire. At least keep your hypocrisy in       check.              If possible. ;0)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
