Overall, the essay is rather discouraging, particularly for one who is

I don't think it is that discouraging - just that CLL is not the place
for a n00b troll. They should cut their teeth on easier to troll news
groups :)
been practicing for some time, what alternative practices might lead to
progress in their trolling careers. Consider a layout similar to the
following. Simple and effective trolling practices, such as asking
about the relative merits of Common Lisp vs {Scheme, Perl, Fortran}
should be recommended only for newbies as they get their feet wet.
Also, consider making some of your assumptions about quality trolling
more explicite. What is quality trolling? What are the marks of a
quality troll? Do you have any examples of quality trolling or
discussion of trolling motivation?
I think that Xah Lee should be looked at as a perfect example of
quality trolling - right now there is an active thread of his with 91
posts, only 11 are from Xah - an astounding troll:reply ratio if you
ask me. Infact, he is so good that the mere mention of his name will
be seen by some as a troll - I expect my mentioning him will draw
someone out in this thread!
I like your 7 step program to trolling!

PS, I find this thread really good, and really funny.
