been awhile since I heard the term -- what's a troll again?
It really is wonderful the things you can find using a mite of googling!!
If you really don't know I found this descriptive site which is quite a good read anbout internet trolls
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TrollDefinition
acually I had hitherto assumed it was something to do with Norway and found this description at:-
http://www.cyberclip.com/Katrine/Nor...rds/troll.html
"A dwarf or giant inhabiting caves or hills. Ugly, powerful and generally dangerous humanlike
creatures, but stupid and naive."
hence my reference to them in connection with a recent topic by Norwegian daniel in which I displayed a picture of Norway not too unlike this one:-
The Trollstigen (Troll's Path), Isterdalen
