Keep in mind most trolls are to meant to provoke massive responses to the group. See the term troll for these types of messages doesn't refer to a mythical being from under a bridge.

Am I right? Well, since you asked, I don't think you are, Melanie. People have often (especially lately) complained of "Fruhead cliquishness." When that's happened, Fruheads on this ng (and off) were quick to jump to the definition of a Fruhead as someone who likes Moxy Fruvous. Period. I think the above just perpetuates the cliquish image. Not to disagree with you on your criticism of the behaviors you described. I don't particularly enjoy rude people either. But - let's face it, rude Fruheads exist. Sad.

Now that everyone has made corrections to the killer tent lyrics, does anyone have a complete revised version of the song? By the way, I'm new to this list- is there any way you can view this newsgoup without crowding your mailbox? I'm kinda new to the subject as a whole.

And this song reminds me of friends who came back from Nam and talked about their experiences there. I can just see them sitting in lounge chairs on the roof of some building watching the "fireworks" in the sky. Of course, that's because my "life experience" pre-dates much of the many participants in this NG...
