Jack, do you realize that your "reply" to the troll shows up in most
newsreaders as a new, empty post? How does that help?

I was unaware of that, Kevin. My posts have shown up on my
newsreader as replies to the OP. Perhaps the best thing, in the long
run is just to ignore the troll, but my thought was to alert all
others without offering any gratification to the troll. Maybe adding
a single message word would solve the problem?
Are there others in the ng who see blank replies as new posts?

Perhaps the solution is to put "Troll dickhead, was..." in front of the
original subject along with the empty message body. Everybody would know not
to waste their time.
