        Can anybody put [@DalekDave](https://www.codeproject.com/Members/DalekDave) in their posts or is that for the privileged few? :-)

          I think the background idea is that it will keep trolls fully occupied, so we can hunt down real news whilst they're trolling each other.

            In our creative world of ones and zeros, no news is indeed good news (a happy user doesn't gripe). In the real word, no news would be frightening.

                  Are you sure, typing [@DalekDave](https://www.codeproject.com/Members/DalekDave) could awaken the [@DalekDave](https://www.codeproject.com/Members/DalekDave) Demon.

                    So don't type @DalekDave - you know what will happen. And (@DalekDave) you don't want to (@DalekDave) awaken the sleeping beast @DalekDave accidentaly, do you? @DalekDave Does each of these @DalekDave summonings send @DalekDave a separate email? If so, we better stop typing @DalekDave before @DalekDave finds his inbox full.

                      After all it doesn't matter now, since @DalekDave now has their inbox filled up anyways.

                        I've been on the internet for long enough to know that FACTS! are always in upper-case and accompanied by an exclamation mark.
