A troll is not someone who suggests that you be clear in your communication, but someone who gets personally abusive as you did when given such a suggestion. Oh, darn, I forgot. You're the same person who suggests that one perform a sex act on you when they try to engage in any technical discussion with you. How do you feel you have the moral authority to accuse anyone else of being a troll? Because you don't. Matthew 7:5. -- Lew
