On the chance that you are seriously asking.. a *troll* is someone who
intentionally posts a note in order to.. well.. just generally **** everyone
else off on a newsgroup. Usually it's an inflammatory remark based on the
subject of the newsgroup. For example, I have pet rabbits.. we're talking
real housepets, they are not in hutches out in the back yard.. I post on a
newsgroup about house rabbits. Every so often some idiot will come in asking
for recipes.. and of course there are always the other idiots who KNOW what
is going on but just cannot contain themselves and just simply MUST respond
about how sick this person is etc etc... In this group it is often someone
extolling the virtues of using live fish to cycle tanks.

Why not read the other posts? This was review just recently.


If it were reviewed just recently, the word clownfish was not in the
subject.

However, the word "troll" came up several times...


Someone tell me what "troll" means. Is it a bad thing?

Thanks
