I guess there are a variety of stances out there re: Whimpy and Manolo
seems to have taken the one that requires interacting with the troll,
then expressing surprise at the sheer level of his trollism, and
finally making an "oh, well" sort of resigned comments, hoping that
Whimpy will notice and change. Or may be not. Just running through the
good old wash-rinse-repeat cycle with the troll, fully knowing how it
is going to end like.

There is a proverb that captures this stance perfectly: "Fool me once.
Shame on you. Fool me twice. Shame on me."

And after all the whining, you give him just as much attention as those
you
complain about....

Er...not at all. Look, it seems to me that you (and SPS) are taking
this personally. May be you have dad/mom issues or elderly people
issues or something like that, so you are reacting like this to me.
But that doesn't change the efficacy of my advice.

Go and count how many replies you got from Whisper by talking about him and
then come back and tell me you aren't part of the "problem" you are trying
to solve.

Let me tell you how it works from my side.

Whimpy is a troll. I have come to the conclusion that his posts in 90+
% of the cases have no real value and is actually detrimental to
having a good tennis discussion. I have killfiled him, so I don't see
his stupid replies, at least the ones that are directly addressed to
me. He is not my "problem" any more. I only see his posts in reflected
replies and respond *not* to him, but to the poster who replied to him
(mostly agreeing with him about Whimpy's error), whenever I feel like
it. I almost never directly respond to Whimpy (unless I am using IE
and the firefox-based killfile filter isn't there anymore), and even
indirectly, I reply to Whimpy far, far less than many regular posters
here. That is a fact.

So I am not part of the "problem", no. I don't troll. I come here to
take part in good discussions that won't be a complete waste of my
time.

Arnab - why don't you look at your posts in this thread, particularly
including this one, and compare how much of it was "good discussion"
and not a "complete waste of your time" to how much it was the exact
opposite. John Sheridan (for any Babylon 5 fans present) said it best
- "When you become obsessed with the enemy, you become the enemy."

Babylon5 quote was excellent.
That serie started using Amigas (beloved computer from my teenage)
with LightWave for 3D rendering & VideoToaster for compositing... Now
RSTers know where my alias came from :-)
I had once contacts by that time with people involved in...
I was questionning about how to have the VT on sale in Europe (for it
was only NTSC by then), and share few mail (snail-mails!) with Newtek,
the inventors of both LightWave & the VideoToaster.
I found the docs & prices they send me few days ago, along with that
1997 Tennis Magazine I was talking about in another post (http://
groups.google.fr/group/rec.sport.tennis/browse_frm/thread/
3cd21511ef8752c3) when I visited my parents.
Can't say I was fan of the serie, much more of its "techno makin'of
background"

Share & Enjoy,
Manolo

Really? I still find it the single best Sci-Fi series, and top-3 for
all series', I've seen. The first season was slow and woodenly acted,
but like a good book set up the rest of the story, and once it hit
season 2 - forget about it.

I can't say I was much on Sci-Fi series (perhaps I do love too much
Philip K. Dick to enjoy "tv sci-fi").
I still love "The Prisonner", & "The Persuaders"... both more
fictional than science-related (but for the big white bubbles taking
the prisonner back to the village! :-)
Talking about The Prisonner, RIP dear Patrick MacGoohan, I had written
some tribute to him on my blog :-(
Can't remember much sci-fi series I've been watching, few or more
often.
I have few episodes (the ones I liked the most, obviously) from the
black & white "4th dimension" (if that's the correct original title)
in mind.

In France Babylon5 was broadcasted by the first pay-tv (Canal+), wich
my parents did not have (Canal+ wasn't available in the whole country,
anyway) suscribed to (and wich was so easy to hack!).
So I never had a chance to watch an entire season while teenager...
After that, I had not much time for TV :-) I was hardly at home, often
in pubs, sharing pints of Guinness with friends, and working hard with
girls in order not to sleep alone!

Share & Enjoy,
Manolo

Well, if you ever have time away from the girls and want to witness an
epic, you can catch at least several of the seasons on hulu.com. ;-)
