According to the new (read: wrong) definition of troll. That is, "someone
I disagree with".

I know of three definitions in this context:

1. According to the Free On-Line Dictionary Of Computing (FOLDOC)

http://wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/

"troll

An electronic mail message, Usenet posting
or other (electronic) communication which is intentionally incorrect,
but not overtly controversial (compare flame bait),
or the act of sending such a message. Trolling aims to elicit
an emotional reaction from those with a hair-trigger on the reply key.
A really subtle troll makes some people lose their minds."

2. Indigenous trolls like those in The Three Billy Goats Gruff

http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/type0122e.html#gruff

These are hideous predatory creatures who live under bridges
(Usenet newsgroups) and snack on billy goats
(unwary new subscribers).

3. An epithet that debaters hurl at their opponents
when they lose and argument -- the definition that you cite.


Abuse of new subscribers by indigenous trolls
follows a typical pattern:

* The new subscriber posts a question.
* An indigenous troll insults the new subscriber.
* The new subscriber complains.
* Another troll accuses the new subscriber of being "rude".
* Plonk! The new subscriber is "killfiled"
by one or more indigenous trolls.

It's important to learn to recognize trolls and ignore them.

Questions about how to use a specific set of tools are considered
off-topic here, as they are not defined by the language.

Borland has a large number of support groups for their products on
their server nntp://newsgroups.borland.com. The group
borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp covers older versions of their
compilers.

When you post there, it is best to specify the exact version number of
your compiler.

Indeed.
You've just described every thread in this NG.

>It's important to learn to recognize trolls and ignore them.

If you did that, you'd ignore every post/thread in this NG.
And, where's the fun in that?

I think you completly missed my point. The proper response
to my question is: "Read The Directions."

Nothing, its perfect. It shows why randomly selecting a group based on its
name then posting there without bothering to check the topic or lurk first
is a bad idea.

"My TV is no longer picking up the naughty channels, I'll post an article
in alt.sex.tv & mention my post code and email address in case anyone can
help me, what could possibly go wrong?"

This is funny, two of the most idiotic trolls round here arguing.

To be valid, you should compare rec.food.drink.coffee in the context of
the question about operating a certain coffee maker and comp.lang.c in
the context of compiling a C program.

Or comp.machinery.coffer-makers and comp.usage.c-compilers.
