She basically said, 'Hello! Not long ago I joined this community. Incidentally, I've learned there are many people learning Russian. It's very interesting (nice) to know this.'

Thanks; this needs only one correction: Dima (Дима, diminutive of Дмитрий) is a male name.

[xxsmoothopexx.livejournal.com]

No problem. :)
Where does it say Дима?

[xxsmoothopexx.livejournal.com]

Oh, nevermind! I see it alongside the name.

Another thing to note: he said обнаружил, which is a past tense form of the verb обраружить. Russian verbs in the past tense have gender-specific suffixes/endings:
-л for masculine
-ла for feminine
-ло for neuter

I know, but I wasn't really paying attention. :P I didn't even bother looking at the username or anything, just what was said.

[pigmeich.livejournal.com]

AFAIK, there's suffix "л" and endings "а", "о" and null ending.

[archaicos.livejournal.com]

Correct. I sometimes oversimplify things for better understanding. That's why I wrote both.

Some people are actually trying to act as advisors, some are silent trolls, some are inactive.
So you jump to conclusions, you are easy to please and/or you misplace your interests.

[crimeanelf.livejournal.com]

Silent troll is oxymoron. :)

[cheaffa.livejournal.com]

Tell me, please, what is mean "troll"? I don't understand. Is it from Tolkien's world?

[pinky-the-cow.livejournal.com]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll).
It's a slang term for users with behaviour pattern of certain oddity.

Although crimeanelf may have had some point, and modern version of lurkers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lurker) may be more suitable for defining the people in question.
