I guess I have a tighter definition of troll than some of you, or
have been lucky enough not to see the kinds of trolls you've seen.
I was afraid that I might be considered a troll for starting this
thread. That's why I was careful to discuss his posts and possible
motivations without insulting or denigrating him.

Many people point out the same problems with his schemes. He
doesn't seem to understand. Maybe I can change my own attitude to
one of detached amusement and enjoy his future threads as you do.

My thanks to all who responded to this thread. It has been, as I
intended, a psychological investigation rather than a witch-hunt
(or a troll-hunt). I feel enlightened by your insights.
