Just to explain the trolling allegation: I'm not talking about him 
wanting to get his scripts fixed, that's help-vampiring most certainly, 
and an extreme form of that (thanks btw. for pointing me to that term, 
whoever did).

I was talking about his repeated attempts at "making conversation" by 
asking questions about encoding, short-circuit evaluation and such which 
seem like they are relevant for him to solve his problem, but due to his 
persistence of understanding things in a wrong way/not understanding 
them at all/repeating the same misunderstandings time after time have 
drifted off into endless repetitions of the same facts by helpful 
posters, and have gotten a lot of people seriously annoyed (also, due to 
other facts such as him changing his NNTP hosts and/or From-addresses 
which breaks kill-filing).

Now, if that latter behaviour isn't trolling, I don't know what is. 
Simply nobody who takes what he does at least a little bit serious is 
_as_ thick as he makes himself seem.
