    I actually think some of these trolls are people who are already on here.
    If the thread takes off they get to wind up posters who they may have had run ins with before.

    I had one only last week. The troll came into a thread that was already going.
    It went on for days, then another poster came on and said ..... it that you again.
    They signed off immediately, and have not been back.
