    Because the best trolls are legitimate questions.  For example, ahem...
meeeemeeeee memememeee...

    Which is better, Emacs or vi?

    It's a legitimate question but you know the hell that fires up whenever it
is mentioned.  Imagine it crossposted between a vim mailing list, emacs list
and XEMacs mailing list (just for giggles).  Sure, asking on any one list
would give a biased answer but asking on all at once where the biases clash is
a surefire way to start some serious crap; the very definition of a troll.

    Ubuntu and Debian are like that in a way.  Not saying either user base is
as staunchly set in their ways but there has been some friction between the
projects.
