As a regular reader and sometimes poster, I've gone anon to pose this not-very-earth-shaking query in order to protect myself from slings and arrows for questioning this naif! However, "hello it's me giovanna" has been asking borderline stupid questions for months now and I'm just wondering if this isn't a subtle put on. The "food poisoning on the train" Q just put me more firmly in the TROLL camp, an idea I've entertained off and on since the beginning. Am I the only one?

anything is possible on this forum-so reader beware-serious or fun--who knows who cares

First of all learn how to spell.second of all,You must have a really boring life,and third you are probaly a fat loser who has nothing to do all day but be rude and insulting to others on here You are the one that belongs in a Troll Camp.You are the stuipd one who is asking people on here if I'm a troll. <BR> <BR> <BR>Yours Truly <BR>Giovanna

Ah, well, that settles it.

HEY&lt; WHAT WORDS DID HE MISSPELL,"STUIPD". other than pose or post <BR> <BR>and why do you now sound " American put on" instead of someone whose first language isn't English". <BR>By the way "probably" is the correct spelling of that word

Thanks anonII, <BR> I really did mean "pose" as typed. And who would have guessed that "hello it's me giovanna" would answer my query herself! (I concur with your astute observations of linguistic shift.) I know it really doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of things (except perhaps to fat losers such as myself). And as pointed out in the Food Poison posts, even if it's a troll some good information has been exchanged. Still, inquiring minds want to know--especially once irritation sets in!

Anon.. on re-reading your post I see the meaning of "pose" , and on the grand scheme of things I do concur. I have had a legitimate question and I really want an answer but with "sex in Italy" and Giovanna , I can;t get an answer, it just keeps going further down in the postings. Trolls sometimes can be fun but I do get a little tired of the ones that just want to "stir the pot"!!!!!!!!!

Is the posting of a troll <BR>When stirring the pot is the goal <BR>Any worse than the posting of this mole <BR>Who has accomplished nothing but dig a hole? <BR>

Just what we need—doggerel diversions. I love this forum, truly I do!

OK, I'm a rookie. What exactly is a troll? <BR> <BR>Thanks, <BR> <BR>Tom

<BR> <BR>Hi it's me, not a troll. Yep, I think Giovanna is a certified troll.

So you have troll busted. Let these posts die and move on to sincere travel questions. Le those move up!

Who cares if she is or not? Stop the vendetta, alright, already!
