Definitely troll, and we got well and truly had.
Shame on us -- he practically *screamed* "I am a troll" in his user-name.
"Ferrous Cranus" ("Iron Skull") is the name of a particular subspecies of
troll in Mike Reed's well known compendium:

How many days was he posting here, pretending to be dumber than a box of
hammers? How many hours have we collectively wasted, reading and replying
to his posts?
I wouldn't even trust that he is Greek. Quite likely he uses a non-
English attribution line to hint that English is not his first language,
so his victims will think that there is a language barrier. "Maybe he
doesn't understand me. If I answer again, in a slightly different way,
perhaps it will be more clear."
