    For what they are worth, I haven't taken notice. Some of my answers can be "snarky", so it's part of the game. My question is how can some of these people that have been members for only a few months reach level six or so? I check the profiles and everything is closed and they don't accept emails. They must answer every single question for only 2 pts! I have soon realized that the points are worthless, the "Top Answerers" are not as smart as one would think by the numbers and so we can just have fun and enjoy. My only complaint is the level of intelligence displayed. Come on! How can a high school student not realize that Seniors is not the place to ask what they should wear to the prom? lol

    Oh yes ... noticed the same thing in a couple of questions I answered.

    They were hitting the answers hard so I stated that I TUd all the answers. That seemed to have an affect because the TUs started flying after that.

    The following is the question. I had more TDs than TUs in the beginning.

    I agree. I answered a question tonight, where the person called our youth ignorant idiots, for using short cut words as they would use in text messaging. It got me all TD"s. Go figure as my grand-kids would say.

    I can't think of anything I could possibly worry about any less.

    These are not trolls. These are regs with a vendetta. Look at the way the thumbs down are being giving. Selective.

    No different than any other night, at least lately! It gives them a sense of empowerment - leave 'em alone! LOL! Maybe eventually they'll pick up their marbles and go play somewhere else!

    Okay, I'm ready! PLEEEEZ? I want a TD, I want a TD, Pleeez, Pleeez, Pleeez!! Ahhhh, thank you!

    EDIT: Oh, c'mon, geez only two? I better see more when I sign in again tomorrow!! I want at least 20, so that I can print out this spectacular achievement & pin it up in my office!

    Not particularly. All of my questions and answers are receiving the average they always get. I have noticed many missing faces however. Must be good weather and a party somewhere keeping my usual trolls at bay. Interesting observation. I'll have to check it out.
