Karen: A Troll is basically a fake. Someone who posts a silly question trying to get a rise out of people. A good troll is witty enough to keep people guessing. But most are simply kids with too much time on teir hands.

Or the alternate definition:<BR>Rubbery little doll with wrinkled face and purple, green, pink, or white (etc.) hair. Very popular with little girls in the 1960s. My sister had a closet full.

&quot;To post a message in a newsgroup or other online conference in the hopes that somebody else will consider the original message so outrageous that it demands a heated reply.&quot;<BR><BR>Actually, the best response to &quot;trolls&quot; is to grin and ignore them.
