Why not stock responses too? Probably 90% of the downvotes in SoPW could be handled with one of these:

• "RTFM"
• "And when you searched for same term you asked about on CPAN you found . . ."
• "No, we won't do your homework for you."
• "I've seen unicellular organisms with better grasp of programming fundamentals. Tell the truth: you work in marketing, don't you?"
• "So after 7 different people have told you the right way to do X you still insist you need to do it your way? Long term studies have determined that glue huffing and posting on the intarweb leads to you looking like a frelling moron. Seek help."
• "For the billionth time, no you cannot have a pony."

(It's Monday. I'm cranky.)
