No, Watson! You ARE the trolls!

...and then Watson was a cyber felon.

Har har, I see what you did there.

Hehe, I just voted on voting. Voteception!

I keep mine on my Droid phone in the ColorNote app. Best free notepad app since sliced bread.

The what? I've never even heard of the Kin until now. Can I reward you for providing information on this splendidly hip device by paying you in bitcoins?

"I don't always plunk down dough, but when I do it's to help rebuild the foundations of my manse"

Eneloop rechargeables from Costco. One of the best things since sliced bread.

"Your smartphone can send texts, surf the Web, and update your Facebook page...

...but does it know why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?"

I would agree with you, but you're making a huge deal about something insignificant. The actual summary of a story doesn't seem affected by the possible inclusion of whether or not this is a submitter's first accepted story. Sounds more to me like an excuse to heckle.

This, although I don't particularly mind seeing it in the submission. What I do mind, though, is that /.ers whine about it and point it out like a sore thumb. "Bawwww, the article is from a first poster, we must bring attention to this and ridicule him/her!"

You apparently either are joking, or you aren't hipster enough to realize that the lack of a verb in this case is fittingly effective. For example, Microsoft "accidentally an entire social networking site" not too long ago.

A pointless pointer? Hmm...

If you shine me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine!
