    Good job with that hackneyed response... Really, for anything someone does, there's always someone that stands up and asks why they do it, or why they shouldn't, etc... Seriously, just spare the rest of us this inane banter in the future...

  5. An Open Plea to Slashdot Trolls: by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I have been an avid reader of this site for the past 2 years and while I have enjoyed many of the "-1" comments, the most recent trolling attempts have become a bit much.

    First off, the amount of trolling has become to cumbersome to sit through. At least half of the comments attached to any given story are "lame" trolling attempts. For example, a w00t" on a fp or fp attempt is acceptable, but a "w00t" in the middle or end of a page is just poor judgment. The same goes for the "CmdrTaco Me" comments, which are just plain stupid when they are buried several levels under a parent.

    Secondly, the quality of trolling has really deteriorated. "Alan Thicke is Dead" was funny the first 20 times, but its a bit played at this point. Page widening and lengthening is brilliant when employed by Klerck or a troll of equal status. However, an AC "borrowing" the widening code and haphazardly using it is just sad.

    Why on earth would I tear my Indigo^2 apart to make a boring, normal PC out of it? It's still perfectly useful; an Iris Indigo would've been, too.
