Over 400 groups with "test" in their names on a typical newsfeed, and you managed to crosspost into 5 groups that don't even have a "t", let along "test" in their names. Say... Aren't you the guy who tried making an advertisement for a romance novel appear to be an on-topic post by saying something insipid that could have been on-topic if it were in the right context? You failed then, too. Usenet was not invented for you to make these posts any more than the telephone poles was invented to hold your "Loose 40 Pounds, Ask Me How..." signs. Sorry. I don't usually respond to trolls like RR, but I'm just in that kind of mood today. -- Warren H. ========== Disclaimer: My views reflect those of myself, and not my employer, my friends, nor (as she often tells me) my wife.

Funny isn't it how you can ignore something for ages and ages then suddenly can't NOT anymore :~)) It's a bit the same with pruning..............you think : "That plant/shrub/tree is a bit out of control but I can ignore it....." Then suddenly one morning you think "NO, I MUST prune it now !" Jenny (back OT) |

You should not respond to as troll because he/she is fed by your replies, but, often the temptation is to great to resist Someone here will tell you the technicalities but that it in "simple" Now, PMFBS?

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. -- Warren H. ========== Disclaimer: My views reflect those of myself, and not my employer, my friends, nor (as she often tells me) my wife.
