I love message boards. Great way to make new friends. Been at them for a while, since before they came on a browser. I think snerts and trolls came within the first week of the first message board. I just don't have the energy to spend a moment's concern about them and just avoid them like stepping over spit on the sidewalk. Just don't participate. Here's a reference that may help explain several recent particpants on the board. http://www.winternet.com/~mikelr/flame29.html

Those of you who have or haven't been around the BBS since Gopher, Veronica, xon/xoff but who like the medium might like to take a look at this reference of internet message board participants I've linked below. I've found myself described in several characters portrayed by this fellow.
