G'day folks,
I note that Larry Sanger was predicting 50,000 or 100,000 instead of the 20,000 produced in the first year. After nearly, a year, they have 4,400. Hardly a stunning success.

See, in spite of what is said by some, trolls[1][2] may be invaluable for building an encyclopedia
[1] One of many unsung internet heroes who are almost entirely misunderstood. Contrary to popular belief, many trolls are actually quite intelligent. Their habitual attacks are usually a result of their awareness of the pretentiousness and excessive self-importance of many enthusiasts. As much as people may hate trolls, they are highly effective.
[2] The meaning of the word troll is unknown. It might have had the original meaning of supernatural or magical with an overlay of malignant and perilous. Another likely suggestion is that it means "someone who behaves violently".
