Nah. You're unlikely to see anything approaching a world class troll here. The usenets groups were healthy breeding grounds for them at one time though, since usenet had fairly high quality targets for them to go for; professors etc. In fact one or two of them were mentally derranged ex-professors! I refer to none other than those whose ideas and depth of imagination and dedication to these ideas in the face of countrary evidence could scarsely be imagined by the trolls that might grace this board, and alas who may now be a dead or dying breed.Originally posted by realityhack View PostGot to hand it to you Troll - you're still the best.
