On Linux forums I, a woman, would get ignored and disrespected. These days I ask my question, then switch to a fake account to give a completely wrong answer, then switch back again to thank them and praise their Linux knowledge. The experts show up right away. Sorted.

@fesshole Not a woman but often incapable of eliciting a response to my basic Linux questions. Maybe I should try your method!

@crow @fesshole Had a work colleague who was an expert, but always assumed someone else would answer, so I started taking this tactic to prod them off their ass. Surprisingly he never called me out on it.
