If there is anything worse than a troll that doesn't admit his own
grandstanding for attention, it's an unelected newsgroup moderator.

I saw no attempt to 'moderate' merely pointers to logical and sensible
methodologies of response.

Actually, I appreciated the pointers. I can see where some of my bottom up
posts may have been difficult to follow. Being given hints on communicating
more effectively doesn't seem very troll-like to me.

Well, then, speaking as an elected moderator, I must add my voice of support.
Top-posting is uncouth.
