    I, Troll - Kudos to Little Brother

    Little Brother,

    If that "I, Troll" letter (link in sig) isn't an editors selection, it should be. Bravo! I believe you've created an instant classic. Back in the heady days of Usenet, I could see that article (as Usenet posts are called) having real staying power. Hope it makes its way around the net.

    Kudos!
