All good points, David. I have no idea what 'fun' people get out of
those but perhaps their raison d'etre is simply to be a pain in the
fundament.
The "fun" is in being able to control others. There are control freaks
in all walks of life and I've no doubt you've met some of them from
time to time. The fun here is in provoking others to squabble through
misunderstandings. Such people have very low self-confidence and have
to get their kicks by being an irritant to others. The fact that others
can be easily annoyed by them is their reward. That's why you're right
in saying they should be ignored.
Unfortunately, it seems that one genuine poster will be ignored when
she may be entirely innocent. Frankly, I've lost the connection between
who is which and who is t'other and I doubt many will bother to look at
headers every time, so in effect, they'll all be ignored!
In which case, the troublemakers will have succeeded.

Until they get bored.
