I looked at the thread in question and my guess too is that the person was trying to be helpful and not trolling. I have found few trolls on TOTV except when they think they are anonymous on the Political Forum.

Usually it is when the message board offers anonymity that people become their nastiest. Check Topix Talk of the Villages Thread for a contrast.
