How sad is that

I went to bed early, looks like I missed something

I was also wondering which store he tried out the bed himself ?

He obviously didn't like my suggestion to look in Harvey Norman for them, where I tried one out.

Just read this entire amusing thread but confused by the references to a troll. What is the definition of a troll?

Hope he gets a good nights sleep soon!

Definition of troll here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll

Commonly used when someone uses a false identity to make posts that create confusion or problems for others.

That may not be a perfect description, but it's close in my mind

Turns out he isn't a Troll in that sense, but possible in this?

I just found this description which is helpful:

What is a TROLL?
The common Usenet definition: Somebody who is "trolling" (as in fishing) for someone to take the bait. People who take the bait will become engaged in an exchange with the troll while those who recognise a troll in action may simply sit back and "enjoy" the action. Many trolls say they serve to "lighten up" Usenet.
Some trolls profess they promote freedom of speech, tolerance, and variety of discussion.
Others simply believe Usenet is a place of "anarchy" and intend to be "anarchists."

We believe trolls generally fall in one of three categories:
Mischievous:
Humorous intent, not abusive. Could be a "regular" who changes names to play a good-natured prank.
Malicious:
Intending to be disruptive or hurtful. May be somebody who opposes a particular view, belief, or lifestyle and attempts to be disruptive in that group's newsgroup. Could also be someone who's a sociopath, or somebody who's previously had a confrontation in the group.
Mindless:
Often a juvenile who is "having fun" at others' expense. Could also be somebody new to Usenet who believes they're "anonymous" and is role playing Or "having fun."

The last two groups include long-time trolls, some of whom are part of a group or "brotherhood." They might be best likened to online gang members who seek to impress others of the gang or become part of "troll history" or a "troll legend."

The best advice for handling trolls: Ignore them,
Use a filter. Deny them what they seek: provoking others. If they can't find the attention they seek, they'll usually leave to seek better fishing elsewhere.

Oh man, I read all six pages waiting expectantly for a reply. At least when I throw a pissy-fit I have the decency to carry it on longer than one miserable post. Bastard.
