You don't base your judgement on whether someone is a troll by what their name is, but on the quality of their relations to other people, the content they provide, etc... In any case trolls should be allowed to roam freely and associate with other trolls. That way it's easy to work out what the troll network is. And if they all host their troll info on their own servers, then the are paying for the maintenance of their troll network, which is ok by me. Henry > > > Cheers, > Tim >
