   Hi Carlos,   
      
   This is just going to you on the Android newsgroup because you authored the   
   troll thread on teh Android newsgroup amplifying Alan Baker's own trolls.   
      
   You call me a troll for writing all these PSAs and Tutorials, and I agree I   
   do invest a lot of energy into developing them into bona-fide value.   
      
   Yet... you don't call Alan Baker a troll.   
   You actually agree with Alan Baker every time he says I'm a troll.   
      
   Why?   
   Why don't you apply the same rules to Alan Baker that you apply to me?   
      
   Why is it that my PSAs and Tutorials you consider trolls, but the garbage   
   that Alan Baker spews, to you, is perfectly reasonable Usenet chatter?   
      
   For example, notice in this thread how Alan Baker is desperate to change   
   the goalposts (which are clearly stated in the SUBJECT line for God's sake)   
   from solid color to "gradient" and yet, at the same time that Alan Baker   
   tries to change the goal posts, he literally claims I tried to change 'em.   
      
   WTF?   
   Even the original OP, Chris Green, agreed what the goal post always was.   
      
   And now you see Alan Baker desperate to change it again to 'simple', even   
   as the goal post is and was always a solid color (typically black).   
      
   While you'll note I never respond to Alan Baker's trolls, you very often do   
   and in doing so, especially when you agree with Alan Baker when he calls me   
   a troll for wrirting all these PSAs and Tutorials, you AMPLIFY his trolls.   
      
   My question to you, Carlos, since *you* authored that troll thread on me:   
      
   Q: Why do you consider Alan Baker's trolls, NOT trolls?   
   A: ?   
   --   
   There are two kinds of people on Usenet, only one of which can add value.
