Perhaps. But a troll is a person that sends messages with the *purpose*
of igniting a flamewar. I don't think that was the purpose. But I agree
that he has not been polite either.

I have sometimes heard this remark when I was in the position that I got
a lot of replies, some of which called me a troll. I have often received
the somewhat similar phrase "get a life", but have never been able to
understand what it could possible mean. [[Get a Life]] gives me some
information, but not enough to understand how such a remark is to be
understood.
It's clear that Jack would not have defended his
position with such
enthusiasm if no one had answered.
Most keyboards have a feature which is consistent with having a life.
It's the delete button. Some of us are even so advanced that we can
delete several messages at once. :-)
Amen.
Don't complain about messages; the subject is clear, you know what
thread it's a part of, and you are very welcome to delete any message
you like.
Gerrit.
