Troll

In Internet terminology, a troll is a person who posts inflammatory messages on the Internet, such as on online discussion forums, to disrupt discussion or to upset its participants. "Troll" can also mean the inflammatory message itself posted by a troll or be a verb meaning to post such messages. "Trolling" (the gerund) is also commonly used to describe the activity

Flaming

Flaming is the act of posting messages that are deliberately hostile and insulting, usually in the social context of a discussion board (usually on the Internet). Such messages are called flames, and are sometimes posted in response to flamebait. Flaming is one of a class of economic problems known as The Tragedy of the Commons, when a group holds a resource (in this case, communal attention), but each of the individual members has an incentive to overuse it.

IMHO.......in my honest opinion

Are there any keystrokes on a typical PC keyboard to produce the "infinity" symbol?

Hiding with all the other mathematical operators. Probably short cut is Alt something, or alt shift something.

I found it in the unicode palette. Code is 221E for ?, if that helps. But try 3180 for a laugh. ? (HANGUL LETTER SSANGIEUNG - so it says - don't ask!)

And YASA?

TV website does not recognise the symbols, or the interface between my Apple, the internet and, no doubt TV's Windows server. Pity about that.

Perhaps there's a way of including unicode characters/symbols? But, i know, wrong thread!! straying from the subject.
