If they can put some serious effort into their questions (too many seem to assume that we are psychic) then I am willing to spend time helping on or off list. Helping people is an act of charity, I am not obligated to help everyone who can't be bothered to do the most rudimentary of Google searches and I am not obligated to suffer fools. I replied to Sean Westfall because I believe that having him spend $150 on a certificate will do nothing for him in becoming a Ruby developer. At least he had put some effort into the question "how can I become a Ruby developer" and he deserved some help. His actual question was "Is it worth the time?" and the answer is "No". But to say that is a disservice, it needs to be explained. But the assumption that a certificate will be of any help is so wrong there is nothing good to say about it.
