1) You can search for the answer on Google.
2) I know the answer but I'm not going to tell you as you will learn more if you find out for yourself.
3) Here's the answer to a different question.
4) I don't know the answer, but I've spotted something else in your code which I think is bad practice.
5) Gosh I'd like to help but I have less clue than you do. I'd try this (doesn't work).
6) Here is some code to do it (doesn't run. obviously not tested)
7) Here is some code which does something else.
8) I don't know the answer to the problem - why don't you do it a different way.
9) Why do you want to do that anyway?
11) It's easy. I'll come back later when I have time and tell you. (Never comes back.)
12) I've got some code to do that. I'll post it soon. (Never posts it.)
13) You can buy a book and find out how to do it.
14) Here are some very vague remarks. You can waste your time trying to figure out what I mean and whether I know what I'm talking about.
15) Here's a link to another post which may be in the same general area but does not help with the problem.
All these are real replies. To spare blushes I have resisted the temptation to link to the posts. To be fair, some of the questions are just as irritating!
