As in audio testing, the details of our methodology ar
The trained educators among us know that a simple X/10 scale as Sean has
proposed does nothing to illuminate:
1. the criteria/attributes that best describe the ideal troll
2. explicit descriptors of levels of performance for such criteria
2. a particular troll's performance for such criteria f
and it would change its behaviour when observed. Can also be active in
several places at once and affect directly at enormous distances the behaviour
of others unfortunate enough to be entangled with it. Quantum troll.

I'm not sure every newsreader can necessarily read mail, but some do.
I use Gnus, an emacs based newsreader, which also handles email.

I've never seen one in six years. I think its the perfection,
unreachable. Most common
Just to get a reference point, I'm really interested if there are any

We seem to be attracting a lot of, er, unfounded and uninformed postings
about the audio quality of various SD/Logitech devices, the brains or
lack thereof of Logitech management, etc.
The Touch seems to bring out nearly as many as the Audiophile forum
does.
