I have always considered "trolling" to be making an obnoxious post 
which is designed to inflame someone into making a contradictory post. 
Hopefully many someones.

Asking a "quiet" question which may/may not be answerable is hardly 
trolling.

Or, I am not trying to kick the cat, just tickle it a little.
