He didn't call you a troll, he said you were trolling, as in fishing (trolling) looking in many spots for an answer.
I've never heard the term used in that sense. That's a new one to me. Apologies if that's what he meant, but I assumed he meant I was a troll, like Flatfish or someone like that. I admit that I tend to ask questions in multiple places, but I always assumed that if someone subscribed to both they'd just answer in one and not the other. I didn't think there was anything wrong with asking in both places or asking multiple times if you didn't get an answer. I'm on 40k dial-up and I have to tell you that I don't lose sleep over the bandwidth lost by an extra email or usenet post here or there. Maybe that's just me, though.
There is a specific list for off topic questions.
