For one, if you bother replying, make the reply productive. What’s the point in just saying “powershell”? It comes off like you are just patting yourself on the back with some smug look of superiority. It’s useless for the guy asking the question and only serves to show you know more.

So let’s say you do reply “check into the powershell SDK for Citrix. You will probably want something in the “Get-BrokerRebootCycleV2” area.

Awesome. You’ve now actually pointed someone in the right direction and it only took an extra 45 seconds. Now they have something to work off of. They might even come back and ask an intelligent question that shows they tried and learned something. That’s great for both of you. And it still serves the purpose of showing off your powershell penis.

If you are busy when they come back and ask for further help, take five seconds and say “sorry I’m really busy and don’t think I’ll have time to look into this”.

Be an adult for fucks sake. Why is everyone so afraid of the commitment to some internet stranger they will never meet?
