    Did you see the photos of the two Trolls in the papers who were jailed.

    When Andy writes on here just imagine that its what it looks like and feel just a little compassion.

    Is Andy not the same person as Kronks?
    I actually don't think they are the same person albeit they are both irritating as hell but they have slightly different posting styles. Though both easy to spot a mile off :p

    A very thoughtful post. Some long term posters here are trolls themselves rooting out so-called trolls. It makes very uncomfortable viewing and puts newer posters off...
    Amazes me how new posters have such in depth knowledge....

    I get the feeling they're talking to themselves too - how many AE's can a person have on one thread? Must be exhausting! ;)

    Can i be an AndyTroll ?

    I want to apply for DLA so that i can get a Jaguar F-Type on motability. :)

    Im willing to chop my own leg(s) off to obtain this dream. :)

    Both legs for the full spec. Only 1 leg for the cheaper models.

    What are my chances?

    Coupe or convertible? Apparently the mid range one (in the convertible, at least) is the one to go for. ;)

    :) well just because they are new to MSE doesn't mean they are new to message board life in general or the internet? All message boards/forums are pretty much the same so hardly amazing.

    I think she means knowledge about certain posters on the forum. Many "new users" seem to have in depth knowledge of the regulars. It may well be that they've spent a long time lurking of course, but it's rare for new users to enter the Arms, and DT in particular, immediately upon joining MSE. I'd been here for some years before I dared venture down that part of the board!

    Plus, they wouldn't actually have had access to the Arms as a lurker unless they were already registered under another username ;)

    Ok thanks I see what you mean :) Yes I can see that would be a good indicator.

    I've not read the Arms at all will have to go for a nose ;)

    Sadly because IP's don't remain static and because it is easy to mask your IP or hide it.

    So if you have an IP address xxx.xx.x.x. one week it may well change to yyy.yy.y.y the next week, how does that happen?

    I thought your personal PC's IP address always remained the same. What if you have a few PCs in the house does each have a different IP address even though they're all using the same router.

    Very confusing.:o
