Hello,

I see some questions in the \"Terms help\" section that hang there, \"open\" since last September! What\'s the use? They will be never picked up by the asker.

However, translators lend their time to answering to those questions!

So, I suggest that these terms be removed and their askers be warned about the matter. ▲ Collapse
