Seem to have missed something in my education. What's a troll, in the non Peer Gynt sense?
I very rarely go onto 'audiophile asylum', but I've noticed lots of references to trolls with respect to Sam Tellig of 'Stereophile'. Is there an internet-specific meaning, or is it a new way to say, eg, 'wanker'?

Everything you need to know:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll
"Bumping an older discussion, or rehashing a highly controversial past topic, particularly in smaller online communities."
Remind you of anybody?

That's a fantastic article! I'd urge everyone who hasn't clicked onto Stephen's link above to do so. After years of trudging through medical/psych articles with obfuscatory prose, how delightful to read an encyclopaedia entry which is in plain language, yet subtle, precise, analytic without the psycho, insightful, relevant and entertaining… I've run off a hard copy to file in my 'Kaplan and Sadock', in case the Wiki article as it stands gets 'trolled'!

A wanker may not be a troll but a troll is certainly a wanker.

I noticed 'Bisse' who gave rave reviews to Bis's Bezaly called himself Robert von Bahr some hours ago but has now edited it down to a 'flute lover'.

His recommendations are also rather BIS-centric:
/recommendations/2646
That's a great bit of understatement! ROFL
