Desperately need a glossary here! What's a troll/trolling? ZOT? Lurk/lurking? Vanity?
I haven't been around here long enough to divine this. And, BTW, isn't 34567 a bogus address? (yuk, yuk)

What's a troll/trolling? A person posting statements designed to bring about confrontation or disruption of a thread.

Zot = getting posting privileges revoked for being a Troll.

Lurking = watching and listening instead of spouting off. (a good thing for newbies!)

Vanity = posting a new thread that has nothing to do with sourcing a news article, but rather your opinion, request, or generally something that has to do with nothing.

Have fun and be carefull if ya want to stick around!
