Re: Trolling!!!

Hi Kim,

Hope you are keeping well!

Excuse my ignorance, and I am sure all the computer nerds will take the p***, but what is "Trolling"

I dont want to fall foul of it by accident and get into trouble with you!
I mean, can I do it without knowing it?
Can it be caught by just looking?
Will it make me go blind if I find I enjoy it?
Worse still, god help me if I come across it in a force 8 !!

So please put me out of my misery and tell me what the hell it is!!

Barry

Re: Trolling!!!

It's a seemingly innocent question, designed to get lots of unsuspecting people to reply to it, thus building up a lengthy and completely unneccessary thread.

Only the most gullible fools fall for such a tactic of course, and ....

oh s**t! you've got me.

I have to admit I wondered too so thanks for pointing us to this link, however I can't help thinking that the guy who wrote that lot has got to be either, sad, a**l or just off his head, espescially as he appears to have written it all on Christmas Day!!

Re: Trolling valves ?

Bleeds off the hydraulic pressure so the prop turns slower for a given engine RPM; almost unlimited control of speed down to 0kt. Should be fitted to more motorboats...remember writing the same in 1987 /forums/images/icons/frown.gif!

Re: Wiki

Oh Dear. Now have to explain what a wiki is.

That wasn't written by one person. It's a wiki site. A wiki is a collaboration where everyone inputs their bit. Bit like a forum of sorts, but with a different aim.

Every time you troll, God kills a kitten. Please think of the kittens.
