Or   (my definition) 
1.  A person who mindlessly posts rant level stuff on lists just to
get a rise out of people, like posting on the Chevy list (Chevys suck)
or something like that.  The transparently intentional starting of
fights, flame wars, etc. with a group of people expressing their
shared views and interests in a topic online --of which the poster is
strongly opposed.

 Subject: FC3 sucks. It takes up too much memory! 
 
 
 I am *not* exagerating. Please look at the attached screenshot for detail: 
 
 1. I think eggcups is the process for printing. Why it takes up more than 
 40mb memory? On Windows 2000, the spooler printing service takes up 
 only a little more than 4mb memory and less than 3mb virtual memory. 
 
 2.  And, eggcups belongs to my session. I am not familiar with the 
 terminal concept. I guess if a user logs on thru a dumb terminal, he/she 
 will get his/her own eggcups; and 40mb memory will reduced from the 
 server. Is my guess true? 
 
 3. If I 'kill nnn', where nnn is the pid of eggcups, it somehow respawns. 
 How can I stop this? Anyway I don't want printing service right now, I am 
 just learning programming on Linux. 
 
 4. I don't want xscreensaver, because I am running FC3 inside Microsoft 
 Virtual PC. How to stop it? 
 
 5. What is gnome-vfs/esd? Are they a must to for a user session? 
 
 Please forgive me if my post aroused some kind of holy debate. I come 
 from Windows world, it's inevitable for me to compare Linux/FC with 
 Windows. But I will appreciate very much if someone can help me, instead 
 of just saying 'Only newbies don't understand' or even 'Only morons don't 
 understand'. 
 
 Everyone say it with me:  "Don't feed the trolls." 
 Okay, I am not English and I don't know what is a *troll* is. But I think
those who post useless messages to this list are *trolls* themselves.
