I do not know why, but in usenet groups there is this kind of
trolling (asking naive questions to troll those who answer). I
met it for the first time in comp.lang.c where it was used to
assault frequent contributors. Luckily digitalmars-d is not
that littered by trolls, spam and porn as comp.lang.c
Interesting issue here is whether there would be some kind of
ex post moderation.
It is not unique to usenet, even contrary, kind of example of
contemporary internet "culture". D newsgroup did not have this
issue that much only because it is not wide-known, any popular
internet community that does not have any form of moderation get
overrun by trolls damn fast. (Though I remember few similar cases
before, it took crazy amount of time until posts were actually
deleted and author banned)
What surprises me is that someone replies to this posts and even
tries to answer the "questions". It is like some of you guys have
never met a troll before. X_x
