Color me oblivious. Most of the things I've done with PowerShell have been 
a blind cut'n'paste hoping for the best. At this point in life learning 
PowerShell is Priority 7.  (7 was the priority we assigned to requests 
that meant 'nobody is ever going to be bored enough to touch that dark 
hole'.)

I sometimes see people complaining about a bug that hasn't been resolved 
in years. That usually means one or more people gently prodded it, sniffed 
the air, and ran like hell.
