Dear Adoptedbyachicken,

I am an English teacher in a typical high school, and I have just printed off your primer about the care of Trolls to give to my students. Many trolls double as high school students, you know. Heck, I've even met up with some at church. Great life lessons, here. I'm going to share it with the guinea message board I frequent.

Thanks for sharing and my compliments to whomever wrote it.

Thanks Sudolph. I did not write it, and sorry I can't give credit to whoever did as the copy I got did not have credit. Enjoy.

I'm feeling very ignorant tonight...

What in the world is a troll?

Pretty much- Someone who needs to get a life!

Usually, if board members ignore them, they go away.

Ok gotcha! I've seen people like that on other boards -- they just wanted to fight. Very pestilent people.

April, that was excellent!

I can think of a couple boards that would certainly benefit from this Troll feeding and handling guide.
