This thread was not a troll, it had relevant content. At least, it
could have if you had chosen to add it. One, or perhaps some, of your
other posts have been trolls in my opinion, that does not make you a
troll. Actually, I think you would have the ability to contribute a
certain breadth and depth to discussions if you, aren't bored, choose
to.

Was it a "network-mangler" issue, that was my first thought. No need to
answer, this thread is solved and closed.
