- I disagree with deleting the article. The term IS still used some places, and while I might quibble with parts of the article, I think the basic characterization is correct. Deleting terms just because they are not common would make for a bad reference work. It is exactly the uncommon terms that people need to look up. Whoperson 21:45, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- Disagree Useful as reference even if archaic. --Sjsilverman 02:34, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep - I have used the term Snert in a recent ethnography I carried out, which is currently being peer-reviewed. Apple didn't change their name when they launched the iMac just because they had existed since the 1980s. Snerts are still apparent in online communities, it is still a useful term for describing those who's posts to an online community are dominated by flames. - Jonathanbishop 12:09, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

- Comment: Then this should be moved to Wiktionary. --Sable232 15:37, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

- Or perhaps Snert and Internet Troll should be merged into a page on types of user in online communities. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jonathanbishop (talk • contribs) 18:49, 12 December 2006 (UTC).
