I'm fairly sure that this is a misquote from Alfred, Lord Tennyson. In
my copy, the original reads:

"Trolling is a art" she told herselves
The Lady of Shallot.

I would have said "an art", but I'm no poet.

Good to know that you're still out there Dan. But I'm a bit puzzled by
your use of the term "ankle biters". Here in NZ it generally connotes
(or is "denotes" the correct term?) what in the US would, I believe,
be referred to as "rug rats". Does it have a different meaning in the
real world?
