I was just doing a bit of surfing the net and came across this.
http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1021&message=19129123
I got about a dozen posts in before I was sure about what it was all about, then closed it.
If you want to waste your time reading that, you will probably find
this definition appropriate.
None of that here... Ain't this a great place!
Now each of you give yourselves a pat on the back - and a special award to the
moderators who keep this place the way it is. Thanks.
I was reading that too

Every so often we have a troll, but unlike the lack of real
moderation at DPReview, I'm proud of our team of
mods doing their job to sort out the pricks from the good guys.

I would have to agree with the poster on dpreview. He is 110% correct about the D200. That is why I a getting one because of all those wonderful features.
D200 ownership

Trust me, the D200, it's not worth it. Had I realised how it's build quality, workings, and useability would affect me, I would have simply bought a D70. It's like an illicit drug, an addiction, you yearn for it, you covet it, you come home from work and lovingly stroke it (my precious..).
The "plastic toy" shutter noise becomes the sigh of a contented lover that has their buttons correctly pressed, and it's insatiable, always ready for more. I day dream about my next liason with it. The money I have spent to fuel our passion is unthinkable to some (probably not to manny on this forum though).
That troll, deep down inside, is just a jilted lover that couldn't afford the asking price... one's soul.
Sometime... not very often... but sometimes... I wish my D200 was human

Thanx. I think we have a seriously good team here, and we have a seriously good membership base as well.

Adam,
We have a seriously good community here but if anyone does not like their D200 don't drive all the way to Gary's front door call me and I will arrange for it to be collected from you at no cost.
I await your calls and emails

I am going to overlook the grammar here because of the strength of the sentiment. I agree 100% (with the sentiment, not the grammar
)
