jim jim, I was just taking steve's words at face value.

Yes, I am well aware that steve doesn't have much value at face, but I really
did just take him at face value.

So, that makes me a troll? taking steve at his word?

I hadn't thought of it that way.

Jax, be careful your reaction does not meet the definition.

Internet troll
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

On the Internet, the term troll is a slang term used to describe a
number of things, traditionally:

1. A post (on a newsgroup, or other forum) thought to be intended to
incite controversy or conflict or cause annoyance or offense.
2. A person who posts these.

The term troll has negative connotations, and is often applied as an
insult. An individual posting honestly-held but controversial opinions
is sometimes mis-labeled as a troll. By contrast, a troll's primary
incentive is generally considered to be the incitement of conflict.

A troll's reactions to being identified as a troll can vary widely
depending on the forum in which the exchange takes place. A person
unjustly accused of being a troll may be hurt and express indignation. A
troll will sometimes react with verbal abuse, raising the stakes with
inflammatory remarks maligning the motivation of the accuser.

can someone help steve out here? Does someone know the name and/or

It
seems a couple of other people also have a blank spot as to the
name/function
of these plugs and also would like to know.

Thanks in advance.
