You're breaking the first rule of "trolling". When your line is in the water and slowly moving along you don't just yank on the first bit of attention. You wait, maybe give it a bit of a twitch, let it lie dormant and THEN you yank it! I'm afraid you just aren't cut out to be a troll. Although the line asking about breaking a rule was a nice twitch.

I'd consider the initial posting to be more along the line of "chummimg".

Oh Lordy, it must be springtime, I'm using fishing metaphors.
