Have you ever thought that Trolltastic aren't the real problem?  I hate to
say this but maybe we should be looking at ourselves here.  And if we
do start to look inwardly, I think we'll find that it's not the trolls that
are the problem -- It's us.

Look at 99% of active newsgroups in the world today-- They've got
successful trolls.  And I'm sure they don't have to shop around every trolling
agency to find them either.  But us?  Nothing.  It seems that we're incapable
of maintaining a troll for more than a week and even then, it was only because
Scotty was on half-term.  And ffs, at the end, he even started trying to be
_friends_ with us.  Wtf did we do to him?  Shameful.  Just shameful.

It's too easy to blame the trolling agencies for poor quality trolls.  RD,
Steph, Scotty, Robbie and the rest came very highly recommended and
had been very successful in other groups.  But typically, they were mistreated
in uksf and decided to quit within days.  If we don't change our ways, we're
going to grow old and troll-less and we'll have no-one to blame but
ourselves.
