<DIV>So, you're saying that hushmail is also "temporary"? Why can't gmail be used temporarily as well? Both seem equally temporary. They enable anyone to sign up for an account anywhere. Perfect for trolling. </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV>even if you're right, it seems like most trolling on Discuss comes from hushmail and temporary services (i have not had time to collate them). If that's accurate then we can say with statistical confidence that trolls prefer anonymous/temporary email accounts. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Therefor, blocking such accounts would reduce trolling.</DIV>

<DIV>(Andy, i thought "trolling" is a forum/email list phenomenon of posting intentionally provocative messages, and maliciously altering webpages is called "hacking". no?)</DIV>
