Are gnomes related to trolls?

No, but top-posters are.

For heavens sake give it a rest. Do you know how boring you are being.

Oh never mind *PLONK*

Now wasn't that fun? Frank vented, you vented, and then you got to
advertize loudly that you have "plonked" him. I think you should thank
Frank.

Let me guess ...

*PLONK*

Not nearly as boring as seeing continued top posting.
If you think it boring to remind others of good manners, then so be it.

Oh never mind *PLONK*

I bet you did not plonk me.

what is a troll?????


A troll is someone who posts something outrageous just to watch people
get riled-up. Sometimes a troll will do a little flaming (attacking the
person, not the ideas) just to watch everyone else start to get
personality issues and the real issue confused to the point that threads
will go down several layers with no real substance. Trolls cast a wide
net, and try to upset as many people as possible.

"Don't feed the trolls," essentially means you should ignore the troll,
and not get caught in his net.

The origin is the trolling that a fisherman does. Essentially we're
talking about casting a wide net, and seeing what we can catch.

Of course it's also fun to picture the troll as a evil little elf.

Hi, Murphy! Nice to see you. I almost didn't recognise you without the
eyepatch. Which crossposted group are you posting from? I'm a fairly
regular rec.ponds kinda Wizard in addition to,... well, you know.
And, yes, I troll for Linux wherever I go. But nicely, only nicely.
