[Boatanchors] =The_SSSOBs_Inspire_Me_Again?

[Dennis DuVall]

The sidewinder trolls do it to themselves as well.  On 75 the other night I came across three “Nets” operating simultaneously on the same frequency.  There may have been a “Code Practice” station in the mix as well, hard to tell in the bedlum.  There are also "round table" discussions with a cluster of “in” players exchanging insults and derogatory character observations with a clamoring “out” group of players.  The resulting “discussions" go on indefinitely but always down hill….

Plenty of trolls for every occasion prowling around these days.  :^(
