    Ah yes, that was a beauty, of course. On page three for me! How do people suffer through the minimum number of posts per page? You guys new to this internet thing? ;)

    As far as spotting trolls - there have been some good examples given. I'd like to give one more, although we might be giving away the farm with these! Non-trolls don't start off a thread by effectively saying, "I'm not a troll, but..." It turns out that only trolls ever consider that others might consider them trolls.

    Anyone else wondering if the OP has come out yet?

    He seemed to have a lot of pent up anger with the world and Prius drivers in particular.

    I must be one of those inconsiderate jerks who drive a Prius. I usually drive 55 on the freeway, accelerate at moderate pace, have the gall to drive 33-40 in a 40 MPH zone (darn those pulse & glides!), and so forth. The fact that I get 42-55 MPG & contribute a correspondingly lower amount of emissions is irrelevant. After all, people behind me need to get where they are headed, and can't be inconvenienced to leave 5 minutes earlier in order to drive more safely & improve their MPG by ~20% (hybrid or ICE car notwithstanding).

    ninous26 made a few posts on one day in 2008 and hasn't been back since. What he was hoping to find was a bunch of people who would respond to his troll, and I guess he succeeded, since we're still posting in his thread.

    As Morpheus in the original "The Matrix" movie might have said......."What if I told you.........He bit the bullet, bought a Prius Gen 2, saw the error of his ways, and is deeply ashamed of his actions"? (Morpheus mode off... :) )

    But this is like the tree falling with no one to hear it. Does it still make a sound?
    We chatter. OP is not even here to reap his silly seed?
