If this GBK med&pharma team were specialists they wouldn't need to ask such straightforward questions. If they knew how to use an online dictionary they wouldn't need to ask such straightforward questions - no need to specialise in med&pharma.

Amadeo - you can unsubscribe just from these waste-of-time questions, you have to do it for each language pair and direction, it's at the bottom.

Buenos amigos: buenas tardes, desde West Palm Beach, Florida, USA. Lo que quiero decir, es que estoy de acuerdo con todos ustedes que se han hecho la misma pregunta. Esto de PROZ.COM es un negocio. Ellos agarran todo, los contratos y el dinero. Nosotros agarramos nada. Yo creia que era algo academico, que beneficiara intelectualmente y por ende algo economico. Yo no veo nada de nada. Muchos saludos: esten fuertes y saludables!!!

Looks like it is time to unsubscribe. Shame because it seems to be all or nothing, so I won't be getting notifications for legit kudoz questions. Oh, well.
Chema Nieto Castañón Apr 12, 2020:
Not the first time I do ask myself the same questions. It seems any pro-member can create a team. GBK med&pharma seems to be just three guys wanting to build up their own covid-related glossary https://www.proz.com/team/4199?hide_covid_19_prompt=1

Not a bad idea after all. Although I wouldn't use kudoz strenght for such basic terminology...
Amadeo Pinto Apr 12, 2020:
Have to agree with Neil. A term search on proz brings up 2 hits with the same answer in glossaries. What is the point of asking about things that are already there.
Neil Ashby Apr 12, 2020:
What is the purpose of such obvious questions?
Are Proz trying to build glossaries they can sell to businesses based on their members' knowledge, time and effort? I wouldn't be surprised.
Where is the reward for the time spent answering?
Who proposes questions/terms and on what basis?
