Just to clarify that I'm *not* a troll I am the poster formerly known as Samantha, duh. During a ILE IM chat I latched on to the idea of just calling myself by a letter, ala Mr. Dastoor. I thought it was fancy.

Ned, a troll? That explains a lot;>
But seriously, Tom, I can't always post a lot either. And when I do, I occasionally enjoy goofing around (see above comment). But, from what I've seen, ILM/E thrives on the strange questions....as well as the serious ones.
I try to only post when I've got summat to say about a particular subject, but it's not easy to resist the pull when you are "surrounded" by talkers. In fact, that's what makes it fun.
Why not think of it this way: we outnumber the "trolls" 100 to 1.

it's mostly a very harsh review of Gabriella Coleman, who i've heard on the radio at least once explaining the Anons. She also chimes in in the comments, looks like, on something pretty minor.
