Well, it would appear that the message you were replying to was the actual troll. It itself called itself troll food, so the author recognized/admitted part of that, but go back and read it if necessary. He could ignore, but it was a deliberate troll, so he chose not to. (And me, I didn't respond directly, but here I am responding in the tail, so yeah, I'm rewarding the troll as well.) You can't ignore what might or might not be a troll if you are using it as a deliberate excuse to do your own trolling, which is what I see your parent post (my grandparent) as being. Elements of truth, certainly, that's what makes a good troll, but troll it is. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
