Where I come from, trolling from work was forbidden. Maybe it is a coincidence that it comes from a defense department in the Netherlands and we have a list member that works for a defense department in the Netherlands. Let me state something straight out. Even though I think this troll is out of line, and even though it would be very easy to follow up with email questions for the person who's id was used, or even for the manager/CO of the officer in charge, I am strongly opposed to having RL consequences for things that are written on this list. I only know of one other time that has happened on a list I was on, and the consequences were ugly. So, why doesn't "American Patriot" fess up and take 3 dings from the committee for list safety and we leave it at that. :-) Dan M. Dan M.
