Puma,

As a yogi and regular participant of alt.yoga, I feel a responsibility
to encourage newcomers to the group, as well as to promote amicable,
robust and on-topic discussion. After all this is what I want from
alt.yoga.

So regarding your purported "troll" sighting on alt.yoga
http://groups.google.com/group/alt....af32509dcdc366a

Why would you characterize this post/poster as a troll/trolling?

1. This post seems to be "on topic". That is, it refers to yoga
"sticky-mats", wood floors (as in a studio maybe) and body sweat/oil
(as in physical exercise)

2. This post is not spam as there is no reference to any commercial
product, address or URL.

3. This post is not inflammatory, obviously not controversial and
certainly not rude.

4. A quick review of the poster's Google profile appears to indicate a
pattern of responsible and on topic posting for over 11 years.

On it's "face" I can only see this question as a reasonable inquiry.
Perhaps a bit out of the ordinary for alt.yoga but nothing that even
remotely suggests "troll".

Would you be so kind as to explain your concern?

Jared
