    I'm not here to compete with anyone. All I come here for is to discuss problems and hopefully find solutions. Unfortunately, I seem to have an absorption limit on how much nitpicking I can take.

    The devil is in the details. There is no need to feel threatened, just enjoy the ride.

    Exactly... Nit-picking is a great way to get rid of all the nits you didn't even know you had. People need to learn to accept borderline trolls and enjoy their company rather than get upset at them.

    Not so great when the purpose is to get you to react unfavorably.

    Which is essentially the definition of a troll. The question is how many are on this forum and who are doing it intentionally versus subconsciously.

    This thread has several who have been called trolls at one time or another.

    Some people go to a forum to just to troll someone into reacting. Their trick is to troll up to the line without getting kicked, but getting someone else kicked is their "win."

    Most curiously, my first post in this thread that involved Paul in any way was #31, where I was agreeing with Paul, because T1 Terry had just replied to Paul's post about electrolysis by limiting the concept to the dissimilar-metals case, but Paul had it right for understanding an extraneous source of voltage can also do the trick.

    Then Paul replied to my agreement by nitpicking it. :D

    I live in a magical world where there's no such thing as reacting unfavorably. :)
