Sick of trolls! 3724

While spinning my wheels in my copious free time, I decided to check the kill figures for the alternative group 'alt.os.linux' having noted an upswing in the amount of troll spew there. Compare this (figures are to 14:00 UTC 31 May):

I was thinking perhaps my killfile is more harsh in alt.*, but no, the rules are the same. It's just that there seem to be more trolls there.
