It seems that every posting site has at least one
poster whose sole purpose in life seems to be 
waiting for an opportunity to make nasty comments 
about other participants.  When anyone of these 
obnoxious pests hangs around like flatulence in a 
phone booth with a persistence of demeaning 
remarks and insists on continuing to buzz about 
the site, one feels like grabbing a fly swatter -- it 
is certainly tempting to react in kind.  However, I 
concur that it is best to avoid feeding "the troll" 
and "ignore obvious flame-bait".

N.B. The above statement was intended to be taken
broadly -- but if the shoe fits ----------.
