If you have no time or incentive to share your knowledge (which is totally OK), maybe staying anonymous is just the right strategy.

Still, to ask a question you have to have only 1 rep point. A really good question or two can get you 100-200 rep in just a few hours. Try it if when you have a good question at hand.

If it's a c# question maybe. Not many votes in vb.

One of very simple answers, one that I gave 2.5 years ago, just can't stop bringing an occasional upvote: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5762327/

This is definitely not rocket science, it's just 5-6 minutes honestly spent to research and write down the answer.

Usually longer and more thoughtful answers get a constant barrage of upvotes, though.
