  1. Am I the only one? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I know this is offtopic but there's nowhere else to put it so hopefully someone else reading at -1 will see this. Am I the only one who finds the trolls on Slashdot really funny? Whether they're insulting the editors, predicting the death of *BSD, or making fun of failed would-be first posters, they always manage to make me laugh out loud. I'm not a troll myself but I still find them funny. Keep up the good work ;)
