It's supposed to mean that if you or some other troll decided that the
group was dong something useful, despite their dire predictions to the
contrrary, you or some other troll would immediately flood it with
disruption, as Joe the Troll flooded dc.general with distracting
trolleries prior to the elections. And since election day, unless you
and he are the same (which the paths, etc, tend to indicate), he hasn't
been seen here.

the object of trollery is to disrupt and in general cause diversionary
spam(tm).

And you're doing it now by making me waste time on your senseless
diverion.

Back to the subject at hand, I think an internet newsgroup dedicated
solely to such things as immediately-post-activity broadcast
dissemination of anything interestingly weird, or scary or of an
emergency nature, or something requiring largescale response - well,
such a newsgroup would be a good thing.

I mean, people can digitize photos of their neighbors and use paintshop
pro to paint fangs on them and stuff (like that one that floated around
recently of Mr. Clinton's head artfully if tastelessly morphed onto
someone buggering a swine). Better than defacing billboards I guess. Or
real court-generated child-molester/neighborhood notifications could be
promulgated.
