what exactly constitutes a troll?

The expansion only lasts until the tank is full to ambient pressure-a very
short time. Then it is all compression.

One mistake that some people make with the equations is not working with
temperature in degrees Kelvin... I always figured that it was a closed
system... If when you let gas out of a container the container gets cooler,
then whatever you are putting the gas into must get warmer... Work was done
with the initial compression of the gas into the tank and as such, the tank
heated up... Leave it alone long enough for the temperature to reach
equilibrium with the outside air and then let it out of the tank and you
will notice a definite drop in the temperature of the tank... For
conservation of energy to be maintained, it has to go someplace... If you
take the surrounding room out of the equation via insulation or whatever and
have one tank decanting into another tank, the only two heat sources that
you have to work with are the tanks... You can't gain energy in this system,
so if heat is being removed from one tank, it has to be added to the other
tank...

besides I have a natural tendency to root for the underdogs rather
than the mob, but may be is it just me :-)

Ahhh, an LA Clippers fan, I see...

Have you considered therapy for that?

do...

Actually, just being a Texan has significantly helped in my being The
Arbiter Of Truth In The Universe since as a Texan, I'm always right...

Neil,

challenging those who actually know the real
answers to his questions with his misconceptions


As a non-native speaker, I guess I have to relearn the meaning of the
word "to challenge". Then again, nope, looked it up, got it right. What
the guy does is nowhere near "challenging". He's lecturing on subjects
that he asked the most basic questions about only a few posts
previously. So either he is really too dumb to realize what he is doing
or he is a troll. My bet is on the latter.

T,

but the point is that he does it
because he believes in his position, not because he's trying
to be a troll and merely stir up argument.


You know, that's exactly the point I don't buy. This "flaw" in his
discussion style has been pointed out to him so often and so explicitly
that the only reason for him to keep it up is purpose. And that makes
him a troll.

Sylvain,

Have you considered that he may come across as annoying because
of different cultural background?


I don't think so. He's annoyed people from a wide range of backgrounds
here. Texans as well as Californians g, Germans, French...

I meant "challenging" as in "dueling" or "fighting" with, though not
physically. Strictly perjorative.

The problem that I have with some of his posts is that he makes statements
as matters of fact that are nothing more than complete misinformation. I
think that hurts the newsgroup.

whaoow. These people tend to be naturally annoyed at each other, to
make them all agree on what is annoying is impressive ;-)
