Paul,
RG>> I had always understood the word "troll" in this context to mean RG>> someone who not only starts trouble but baits others into it. RG>> Apparently some of you apply that term to someone that disagrees with RG>> your preconceive notions. I suppose I too qualify as a "troll" As time has marched on, trolls have become more sophisticated. In usenet these days, we see them using the one-two punch. Some good information to obscure what they are doing and to confuse the issue. I haven't been posting notions lately preconceived or not, so I don't think troll candidates have been disagreeing with me. What I have seen is confusion and consternation and uncertainty how to deal with certain people. I offered a suggestion. Perhaps some will find it useful.
