Well, to be quite pedantic, fugee is more or a "help vampire" than a troll.

Subject: Re: [Rails] Is there an administrator on this list?

To be clear. I'm not suggesting that the behaviour _is_ trolling, just that the same solution might apply.
Lots of people (myself included) have tried to help by suggesting how to pose questions well after doing some homework. That clearly isn't getting through. 
In the absence of an admin to remove the individual, my suggestion is that everyone stops answering in the hope that he either learns some manners, or goes elsewhere.
It sounds like 'the ops on freenode' came to a similar conclusion. Clearly no lesson was learned.

I don't think it feels like trolling. If anything, the responses by +Walter Davis 
are very informative.
In the last 30 days, fugee has opened 11 out of 45 threads. I would not characterize this as trolling, but I do think fugee needs to work on their google-fu.

If so, I have a request:
I'm fed up of one persistent individual spamming the list with questions along the lines of 
'Please do my work for me; I haven't done any preliminary investigation on my own'
If there is an administrator, please consider removing the individual from this list.
If there is no administrator, then my request to everyone else is to treat this like trolling, and just stop feeding the troll.
thanks,
Rob
