So while the question of "Did she have bilge keels" is legitimate, the question isn't really necessary (and certainly not essentially asked twice) given the asker's proven ability to find the answer to that themselves. Posing the question and doubling down on the question serves no purpose but to cast doubts as to the builder's ability to do basic research on his model. Such behaviour can definitely be interpreted as "trolling".
Thanks, TC for seeing the obvious. I would also point out one other comment made by the same person which I think says even more about his real intent of posting -

also if you do not want criticism of your work then you shouldn't post pictures of that work.
Constructive criticism is one thing - and a GOOD thing, IMHO - but
criticism, as this member stated is NOT what I thought this forum was all about. Perhaps I was wrong. I think most members who post their builds are rather selective in what photos they do post about their models, I know I am, and sometimes I'm ashamed at my lack of photographic skills to show my model in it's best light. But I do so in hopes of getting commentary back from other members, both good & bad. Thru the years I've learned quite a bit from the feedback I've received on my builds, not to mention gaining knowledge from comments made on others builds.
When the original question was posted my first thought was that this is totally out of place at this point in Tom's construction. It might possibly have been valid when he was getting ready to paint his hull but that was a long time back.
I agree with both Tom and TC's assessment - the question was nothing more than trolling and I'll echo Tom's comment - Stay off
my build threads unless you have something CONSTRUCTIVE to add, etc.
Personally, I don't have the time or interest to spend all day poring over the entire SMF looking for threads to throw snippet bombs at others work; I actually have a life!! I know this because The Admiral told me so!!!
