Am i annoying you? Personally, i think i've done nothing to deserve your attitude, but i'm taking it on the chin. I never have, nor never will be a troll. And if this becomes the last word, it's not because I'm a troll, but because you have nothing worthy to reply with.
I'm sorry you're so bitter.

Usenet guide to a "Troll":
A troll passes through several stages in its life cycle:
Stage I: Posts inflammatory material to elicit outraged responses.
Feeds on the attention.
Stage II: Persistent. Not bright enough go away, even when
plonked. Thrives on the attention.
Stage III: Achieves a truly pathetic state. Trolling becomes an
addiction. Troll constantly nymshifts to avoid killfilters, even
though it is always recognized instantly by all regulars. Trolls
with religious fervor and acquires a martyr complex. Totally
addicted to the negative attention.
Stage IV: Few trolls achieve this status. Beyond pathetic.
Troll now achieves precisely the opposite of intended goal
through its postings. Any readers, even new or casual readers,
are able to recognize the troll's arguments as so obviously
devoid of all common sense that they are immediately inclined
towards that which the troll protests. At Stage IV the troll is
almost worth having around as a shining example of what one
should avoid becoming on Usenet. Its arguments tend to push
readers towards the status quo rather than away, thus validating
the belief system the troll is rebelling against. They are still
no more entertaining or enlightening than before.

Nope? I didn't ask you anything. I thought we were going for a name calling contest...
But if you're looking for me to irritate with latin quotes, I am as always more than happy to oblige:
"Labor omnia vincit" = work conquers all.
[troll-like rant to fit Goatboy's mental profile of me]
You do little or no work in your job, which although seemingly perfect for the lazy and unambitious amongst us, eventually leaves you unhappy.

Hmmm, constantly referring to oneself in the third person... Is it possible you are intending to be more annoying than even i am?
An interesting prospect, and a welcome challenge.
