Dear Internet,

Please to be learning the difference between "troll" and "trawl".

Agreed. Having been there for most of it, I believe that the Internet term "troll" is a combination of the two common uses of the term -- but owes more to the term that shares meaning with the secondary use of "trawl" than to the Scandinavian monster.

I think so too.
