A troll is someone who makes an inflammatory post just for the effect.

Do you know the saying "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can
never hurt them. The Usenet is a a place where people do odd things, and we
quite often get people writing here to see if they can wind us up.

> I wanted to drink it at night because I don't want to drink it in the daytime.....

But why do you want to drink it at all, if you don't like it? There's no
particular virtue in drinking wine, and drinking wine for the sake of it is
a loser's game if ever there was one.
