Emme,

> One of the sites said that some trolls register for a board pretending to be an established poster by using a screen name that's one character off, like a dot missing, or a "1" for an "l", and therefore looks the same at first glance.
<<I was told that happened here a few months ago...I wouldn't know how to spot one, I don't think. Some people have some unique writing styles. Sometimes it seems a poster might be trying to bother people, but I don't know if there's intent there, or just a glitch in actually communicating by writing....
Thanks for the info. Who woulda thunk something like that has risen to an art form? :-)
