If you have to ask, you can't afford one.

A troll is someone who posts a question intending to cause a disturbance or promoting their business, etc. for personal gain. In other words, not someone who is legitimately trying to seek or give travel information without a hidden agenda.

Wikipedia gives this definition:

In Internet terminology, a troll is a person who enters an established community such as an online discussion forum and intentionally tries to cause disruption, often in the form of posting messages that are inflammatory, insulting, or off-topic, with the intent of provoking a reaction from others.

Try to ignore the silly responses, apparently written by people in their cups.

Lately though, people here seem to love calling anyone with a view contrary to theirs a "troll".

"In their cups" means they've had too much to drink.
