About this I only have one objection. Please, don't call Kyle a troll. By doing this you'll risk to drain the concept of all its usefulness. Kyle is the most energetic and one of the most interesting critics of the Mozilla project. Sometimes (most often?) he is in the wrong, but he always replies, and he really keeps this news group going! A troll doesn't act this way. A troll is a kind of freak, posting a false statement, then sitting in front of the monitor, eagerly watching the incoming replies and the thread growing bigger. This is what gives him satisfaction. He never intended to contribute to a discussion in the first place. There was an excellent example of a troll posting a few days ago on the subject "New Virus set to hit for Netscape 6.21 and Mozilla builds on Wednesday". A troll posting shall never be replied to, since this is what keeps the troll going. -- /P.M.
