    it's usually someone with less then 5-10 posts and either:
    - posts how bad a company is on 1st post
    - posts how good a company is on 1st post
    - spams their own company on their 1st post
    - is a general nuissance and upsets the delicate psyche of the old farts with at least a couple of hundred posts :)

    You. Funny how you say you hear it "all the time". Wonder why!

    Someone who posts on a forum without caring about the topic. Like posting indians dancing in a pool on a serious debate about wartime issues.

    Yeah I suppose I'll cut him some slack. Ehhh, Bush's poll numbers are going down because Conservatives, like me, don't like him now. We see him for the centrist, moderate big-government advocate he is. :D

    Don't hate Bush, Bush is just a puppet. He didn't know about 9/11. He was shocked as hell. Dick Cheney had him in a elementary school. It's much easier to trick a nation when the President is just as tricked as they are. Well, and maybe I give Bush too little credit. His father was the CIA director, the guy who rubber stamps assasinations, after all.

    He works practically 4 hour workdays, and takes 8 week vacations? While Dick Cheney works non-stop. C'mon.

    I'd like to see *Actual FACTS on that statement*.... hehe...



    The Prez on Down has alot of *Advisors* whom they take advice from since they (The Prez etc.) can't be everywhere at once to assess every situation so they have to *Go on what they are told* and their Experience if they have any and lastly, a *Gut Feeling* to make decisions..

    I believe a troll is another word for a spammer.
