It would be far more productive and everyone, I'm sure would be much happier.=20 BTW, I ran across the troll's name and another email address (probably one that doesn't change every 45 days) on a financial forum I was perusing. For a brief moment I was severely tempted to sign the troll up for every spam list that I could Google. Then my conscience kicked in and I remembered that it wouldn't be the right thing to do. Just think of the things I could have accomplished if my parents hadn't raised me with morals. Oh well, time to update my email filters again.
