    From a recent scan of the local cache of the newsgroup:

    Number of posts: 9782
    Posts by the troll: 209
    Replies to the troll: 141
    Troll reply/post ratio: .67
    Number of repliers: 58
    Replies per replier: 2.43

    Most eggregious troll-wrestlers (number of replies follow in parentheses)
    Marc Brett ( 16 )
    Tom Crispin ( 6 )
    "Adam Lea" ( 6 )
    Pete ( 5 )
    "Clive George" ( 5 )
    MJ Ray ( 5 )
    Jon has moved ! ( 5 )
    "DavidR" ( 4 )
    Helen Deborah Vecht ( 4 )
    "Just zis Guy, you know?" ( 4 )

    Were the above to abandon troll-wrestling the reply/post ratio would fall
    to .38

    Were all of the repliers who did so only once to have practiced restraint
    the number of repliers would fall to 30

    Once was ok. Twice was pushing it. Three times means it's about time to
    point out you're being a [censored].

    If you actually posted anything new in there, it might be more interesting.

    I am no fan of jtaylor finding him trollish himself many times in the past,
    but since these posted reminders my inbox has been remarkably free of
    replies to the trolls. Haven't bothered to check though whether this is
    the same data reposted or updated data.

    I don't think it's much do do with those reminders.

    Reposted. So there's no incentive to not troll wrestle either.

    cheers,

    Wrong.

    Check the numbers. The troll's reply/post ratio is going up; that might not
    be enough of an incentive for some - although you've been a good boy
    recently...

    There's no incentive in your numbers for me to not troll-wrestle. Make it
    work on non-overlapping data and it may be more interesting, but as it is
    there's no mechanism to pick up changes in behaviour.

    Agreed. Looking like another candidate for the petty [censored] filter.
