There are two major schools of thought as to what the rest of the

1. Totally ignore him to reduce the wasted bandwidth, but there
will also allways be someone who will respond whether it is because
they are new or because he particularly ticks someone off.

Either you totally ignore him or you don't. You can't have it both
ways.

Non sequitur.

As I said, an individual may ignore him, but there will allways be
someone who will respond.


2. Respond to the extent that it corrects his usually incorrect and
sometimes dangerous postings least someone who doesn't know the
source actually believes what he says.

and thereby feeding the troll

The only way to deal with a troll is completely ignoring it.

Won't happen in the real world.

The only thing that bothers me with those that resond is those that
quote 347 lines to add one or two lines; if you are going to respond,
snip for christ's sake.


Heh heh.
