I choose the worst of all options and go into excruciating detail.

  Thereby minimizing how often anyone asks you - which makes that the best long-term option?

    That would only work if you were getting repeat inquiries from the same person. Otherwise it's just the longest possible option for each new inquiry. I always opt for excruciating detail because it's what I enjoy the most.

      > That would only work if ... Sounds like none of the people you answered, in excruciating detail, cared to warn other people about what would happen if they asked you.

        Ahh! I didn't think about the word-of-mouth. Good call.

        It really can go both ways. Was told that "Ask baobun about hacking when you're high" came recommended.

      My wife's eyes just gloss over. Maybe I should try with some other test subjects.

    One of the classical assessments in strategic behavior is "be worse than your roommates at chores so they do them, but not so bad they kick you to the curb."
