Stupid, for asking questions?

Gisin, if you have period pains, you can get medication to relieve the
symptoms.

I thought there would exist a modicum of professional expertise on the
group - but obviously not.

The professionals are fed up with clueless newbies who ask stupid questions.

The "faster interface" issue comes up every month.
How many years have you been trolling without learning anything?
