   Since Draco and I are the main participants, I suppose that reference   
   would include me. 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)
