hope) draft of my latest book.

Good evening everyone.

Consider this:

We have OzOne, a troll of the highest order (and seemingly a successful
one at that).

We also have regulars, who post sensible, often /very/ humorous and
helpful messages to threads on here. Sometimes cars even get a mention.

OzOne goes away for a week and in the space of a couple of days there's
a 100-plus message thread entitled 'where is ozone?' A massive share of
the thread is made up of posts from the above mentioned regulars.

Who do you consider is 'winning' this futile 'battle' on this particular
newsgroup? Whether or not he has a personality disorder seems kinda
irrelevant - he's trolling for *attention* and getting it by the
*bucketload*.

How much is your time worth?

Just my $0.02 anyway, I have filters in place, but a lot of the crap
here is responses to his fairly obvious requests for attention. I don't
want to filter any regulars.

Cheers,
Andy.

It's a substitute for the lack of any real activity :)

Perhaps the real thing of it is, that it doesn't matter who posts, the
freedom to reply or not, and what's in the reply if you do, upholds any view
you wish to put forward ie ignore, take issue or just rubbish the poster :-)

Not at all... I expect to see the 'Idiot's Guide To Trolling' on the
bookshelves before Xmas.

We should all go and test drive something this week and report back,
to give us all something to be getting on with :)

specific wee trucks!

Before 10PM, yes.

Which reminds me - the poo truck drivers used to carry the poopails
*into* the back yard on their shoulders.

Ever wondered why?
