@Frank I like your posts. You have written really good solutions to all the problems and I learnt something from those. Other users post trollish answers. Vogel posted really good answers as well.

Don't you find most of the answers trollish?

Frank

@InfiniteHappiness Not most of them.

In what way?

I think a mosquito bite gives less trouble than burnt skin. Better sit with the bite than use those hacks and burn your hand

Frank

I actually prefer burning to itching.

No, because of size. Example: Askubuntu isn't beta and allows unregistered questions: askubuntu.com/help/why-register
