invented...

The concept of "archive troll."

For the entire rest of Usenet, the concept of the "X-noarchive troll" is
a solid one, as in the guy who keeps his posts from being archived on
Google so people can't fact-check his noise by previous comments.

Tarver, on the other hand, is completely incensed that people bring up
things he actually *said*, in a provable format that he can't just
pretend he didn't utter.

So he invented the "archive troll," which is Tarverese for "you caught
me, you *******!"

Thanks Chad. That definition is going into my archive troll.

You made that up, didn't you?

The IAS indicator says IAS, not ASI.

Why do you come here pretending to know something
when you don't even know the words?
