In my 7 years of Windows progarmming life, I post many more flaming posts to Windows forums/newsgroups. But I never knew such a word as *troll*.Calling someone a troll is more of an Internet newsgroup culture thing than Linux centric. Search through newsgroup postings for the word troll and you'll see that it lives in a large variety of groups (Windows centric groups as well). Does this have anything to do with the Linux culture? I'm not a sociologist so I am not in a position to say. Since I can find it everywhere from automotive groups to zebra mussel control discussion groups.. I would have to guess that it is not. Perhaps the problem (as pointed out by others including Craig) lies with your subject (the whole "FC3 sucks" bit tends set off attitude flags) and general perceived attitude in your message. If you have questions, seek help, etc. then ask your questions, request help, and I am pretty sure someone will be more than happy to assist you with out you needing to say anything sucks or give the general idea that you're a hot head, have already given up and just using the list to vent, etc. Cheers, Jeramy On Thu, 27 Jan 2005 13:56:29 +0800, Edward Yang <neo_in_matrix@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I started learning Linux progarmming about half year ago and would you please use your intelligence and tell me why I first learned the word at a Linux google group when I posted a newbie question about sh?
