Segun el 'Jargon File' (http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/jargon.html):

troll v.,n. 1. [From the Usenet group alt.folklore.urban] To utter a posting on
Usenet designed to attract predictable responses or flames; or, the post itself.
Derives from the phrase "trolling for newbies" which in turn comes from
mainstream "trolling", a style of fishing in which one trails bait through a
likely spot hoping for a bite. The well-constructed troll is a post that induces
lots of newbies and flamers to make themselves look even more clueless than they
already do, while subtly conveying to the more savvy and experienced that it is
in fact a deliberate troll. If you don't fall for the joke, you get to be in on
it. 2. An individual who chronically trolls in sense 1; regularly posts specious
arguments, flames or personal attacks to a newsgroup, discussion list, or in
email for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion. Trolls
are recognizable by the fact that the have no real interest in learning about
the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait. Like the ugly
creatures they are named after, they exhibit no redeeming characteristics, and
as such, they are recognized as a lower form of life on the net, as in, "Oh,
ignore him, he's just a troll." 3. [Berkeley] Computer lab monitor. A popular
campus job for CS student. Duties include helping newbies and ensuring that lab
policies are followed. Probably so-called because it involves lurking in dark
cavelike corners. 

Some people claim that the troll (sense 1) is properly a narrower category than
flame bait, that a troll is categorized by containing some assertion that is
wrong but not overtly controversial. See also Troll-O-Meter.

PD Feliz Año Nuevo. Tengo que ausentarme de la corrala por un tiempo, espero que
cuando dentro de un par de meses vuelva por aqui encuentre algo. No puedo evitar
recordar ahora la secuencia de 'el planeta de los simios' en que Charlton Heston
encuentra la estatua de la libertad semienterrada entre las ruinas de Nueva
York...
