He might be talking about people who would very much like to appear
knowledgeable in certain newsgroups. Extensionally, there might not
be much difference between our two definitions.

What I have said here is a triviality, of course, not controversial
at all.

It is also, like Kaz Kylheku's post, a troll. Uncontroversial
trivialities make the best trolls, don't you think? Context is all.

Discuss. Every reader will grade you on your intelligence, civility,
knowledge, and various other criteria, but you are unlikely ever to
learn your grades unless your comments are outstandingly bad by the
standards of one or more of the grading criteria. Diplomas will not
be awarded, nor will remuneration be remunerated. Don't waste your
time on this if you have anything better to do.
