The recent post on the war could reasonably be construed as a trolling post. See here for what that means in internet usage: http://www.encyclopedia-online.info/Internet_troll What I mean about not feeding the trolls is that it is best not to rise to the bait of a trolling post and respond to the list. The best response is use of the delete key and a return to normal list business. From wikipedia also: "A phrase like "don't feed the trolls" -- reductive as it might seem -- effectively communicates a few basic norms of Internet conduct (don't escalate, remember that some posts can be ignored) in a way that is immediately comprehensible and effective." ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
