Not sure it's trolling. Trolling is a form of fishing where you drag your bait through the water behind a slowly moving boat. The fish can choose to take the bait or not. Any seek is an attempt to troll for an opponent, so the problem is not the use of that word. A very long time ago people figured out that computers were very strong at blitz, and could get their ratings up very high if a strong human came along and played a series of games. These new accounts take advantage of this fact by *only* playing strong humans. I think this practice sucks. bruce
