To me a troll post is, in essence, insincere/disingenuous and intended to "get a rise" out of the other members. (Forum members, that is.)

I dunno, that one is borderline to me, could go either way, but I do wonder how anyone would be requesting this info on their own, sans lawyer.
Leaves me scratching my chin, hmmmm....

Jim, what happened to the other thread that
OP started? It's totally gone. He had at least 8 posts and it shows only 2 now. Somebody must have deleted that other thread intirely...

Hey guys,
It's been awhile, but the following post might be, um, a bit of a fishing expedition we might say?
Whatcha think?
******************************************
"I work for a local WISP and my employer has recently built a 150ft guyed tower, assembled piece by piece, and guyed every 30ft. The base is concreted in a 6'x6'x6' form (it's not going anywhere). BTW, I was the one up on the tower assembling each section as it was raised up to me.
To start with, my job description has nothing to do with building towers, or digging a 6'x6'x6' hole in red-clay by hand, or climbing towers/replacing equipment on towers.
My employer has cut-corners regarding the cost of this project as much as possible. This company is small and being the only employee, I was required to assist my boss. The project has almost 2 wks total time invested, and as I am a low-salary paid employee, by employer came out basically just paying for materials.
I'd like to know what labor/safety/OSHA rules were side-stepped. I've never been 'trained' to climb towers. I don't have experience in assembling towers. It wasn't on my job description. And, I found that a tower construction crew of (4) normally makes $75/hr per person. Safety belts were used every time a climb was made, but I don't see how getting a novice involved in such a DANGEROUS project is legal. I've climbed as high as 325ft with this business. I know this is a special-skilled job because every person I tell what I do for work, says they would never risk their life climbing that high.
As a last note, my salary broke down is about $9/hr. Thanks in advance for any comments!"

Yeah Jim, I saw that,
and after reading about half way through, my first thoughts were let's go fishing to kill some time. That poster should've walked away and got a better job some where else.

As far as I can tell, the OP never posted again, which made it a bit suspicious for me, but ya never know, stranger things have happened!

What would you say about a woman with a rabbit ears TV antenna on her head? My guess is the fact she happened to be Black MIGHT upset somebody and my fall from grace was simply because I never thought in terms of color. Even if they were connected to a color TV doesn't matter.
Pictures or it didn't happen...
I'm not going through that again but if you insist go there on your own time:

Oh crap, the RR word editor ruined the link. Easy fix, just substitute the asterisks with a four letter word for poo.

Now that we have a new Encryption thread going, I'm sure that's as good as setting out the bait.

I had seen the title
to that thread the other day but passed it up. Untill RD posted here. So I go and checked it out...Long story short, I got upto post 15 and then just closed that thread off. The two best post that were really good was #12 and #15, (I'll not id those 2 guys, for protecting the innocent.) Both gave me a good chuckle. RD, you gave a good lead on that one sir...lol
Jimru, you hit that one right!

Rafdav, some subjects just create a feeding frenzy, most particular being the subject of encryption.
Reading those posts, I felt like I was watching piraña flailing away, just after a cow carcass was thrown into the pond!
