I was just pointing out that your label of troll is highly
subjective.


Tracker is not a Troll in the same sense as somebody who knows that
they are Trolling; but her posts tend to have the same effect as if
she was an intentional Troll.


Thank you. That is a very reasonable explanation. I don't put much stock
when someone calls someone something without a reasonable explanation as

to
why. I did notice some dubious info in Tracker's OP, but I did seem to me
that his/her/it's heart was in the right place with this post.


What "scaremongering?" I saw nothing nothing in the OP that fit's
that description.


That was actually one of her saner posts. When she starts telling
people what steps to take to find malware, she can be downright
dangerous.


I see. That explains a lot. Thanks again for taking the time to explain
you opinion about Tracker.


Heh....you should see some of the junk she posts in the alt.comp.anti-virus
ng, and others. And the threads are even longer than this, and the folks
even get hostile with each other arguing over who's right about how and
where she is wrong, or which of them is right or wrong. Go figger! Now
there is a good case for a Moderator if I ever saw one. ;-)))

In truth, the reason, I think,that most folks get upset her is that for
people who are not computer savvy, or have language problems, the stuff she
posts is generally so far off the mark it can be very harmful if they
follow/use them.
