Wooo hooo! Thanks for the info. I hereby deem you and Giovanni President and VP of the "Official Will there be a Police DVD? Fanclub". You'll have to fight over who is Prez. Of course, you could have a contest to see who can spell better to decide. (Maybe that's how she gets away with not being sued since everything has at least one misspelling in it.) In case you were wondering, I deem myself worthy of bestowing that honor on you because I'm the president of the "Oh my Gosh, I didn't check my emails for two days and the list has gone mad" club. Jason, I'm right there with you screaming at the computer!

I'm back!!!

I'm back and I'm disappointed in all of the hostility. To think of it - me, the leader of the fan club! Many of you will be punished for your transgressions and I'm afraid that I've collected some of the more brash emails - especially from the europeans - to give to Gordon. He is quite disappointed. Did I mention I am the leader of caretalk? I hope that you are kind to your domestic animals. How would you like it if you were enslaved? I am a world-wide recongized leader in the fight for animal rights. Which is of course how Sting and I met. Again, some of you will pay. Gordon agrees! http://animalnewz.tv/ _________________________________________________________________ Watch LIVE baseball games on your computer with MLB.TV, included with MSN Premium! http://join.msn.com/?page=features/mlb&pgmarket=en-us/go/onm00200439ave/dir…

Hi I don't want to spend half my PC time deleting all your messages about T. Her messages were stupid. And it was stupid to give her so much attention. Start a T. mailing list, if you want. Dietmar

don't feed the troll
by Mark Tigges 12 May '04

troll 1. v.,n. [From the Usenet group alt.folklore.urban] To utter a posting on Usenet designed to attract predictable responses or flames; or, the post itself. Derives from the phrase trolling for newbies which in turn comes from mainstream trolling, a style of fishing in which one trails bait through a likely spot hoping for a bite. The well-constructed troll is a post that induces lots of newbies and flamers to make themselves look even more clueless than they already do, while subtly conveying to the more savvy and experienced that it is in fact a deliberate troll. If you don't fall for the joke, you get to be in on it. See also YHBT. 2. n. An individual who chronically trolls in sense 1; regularly posts specious arguments, flames or personal attacks to a newsgroup, discussion list, or in email for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion. Trolls are recognizable by the fact that they have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait. Like the ugly creatures they are named after, they exhibit no redeeming characteristics, and as such, they are recognized as a lower form of life on the net, as in, Oh, ignore him, he's just a troll. Compare kook. 3. n. [Berkeley] Computer lab monitor. A popular campus job for CS students. Duties include helping newbies and ensuring that lab policies are followed. Probably so-called because it involves lurking in dark cavelike corners. Some people claim that the troll (sense 1) is properly a narrower category than flame bait, that a troll is categorized by containing some assertion that is wrong but not overtly controversial. See also Troll-O-Meter. The use of troll in any of these senses is a live metaphor that readily produces elaborations and combining forms. For example, one not infrequently sees the warning Do not feed the troll as part of a followup to troll postings. From: http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/troll.html police(a)mailman.xmission.com is currently suffering from a troll, sense 2. Admitedly it amused me in boring moments at work yesterday. But old is old. Please don't feed the troll. Mark.
