I've got to say that one of the greatest strengths of this board is the requirement that we all post with real names and real ID's. It sure makes it a lot easier to spot trolls which are the bane of a lot of other boards, but we are inflicted with only rarely.
I do think the troll posts we've had recently should not only be locked, but should be deleted, and any post the trolls made should also be deleted, lest anyone doing a 'seach' on Roland products think they are representative of Roland or Roland service. I do not now use any Roland products, I have in the past, but there is nothing in my relationship with Roland in the past that would prevent me from buying Roland in the future.

As used on the Internet: 1) As a verb, the practice of trying to lure other Internet users into sending responses to carefully-designed incorrect statements or similar "bait." In a real example, a Usenet newsgroup contributor mentioned the discovery of an ancient African carving containing a list of prime numbers. The contributor further listed some of the prime numbers found and included some numbers that, in fact, are not prime numbers. Other contributors then sent serious replies, correcting the list of prime numbers cited.
2) Also as a verb, as a synonym for "surf."
3) As a noun, in emulation of the small mischievous figures of Scandinavian legend, a figure (or one of a group of figures) that you can pretend to be in the chat groups and games called MUD and MOO and their variations.

Oh thanks. After I did that post I discovered the others and now understand. Bye the way, when I was trying to install a name on the hull of a boat a few months ago I thought of your "Durn vinyl won't stick to ice" and had to smile.

Personally, I think everyone should be required to pee into a jar and provide a sample for testing. That way we could ALL be positively identified, and not only that, but all other readers could be aware of just what everybody's "on" when they made their post.
It might also provide some insight as to why some work a lot faster than others.
