erroraction on new-item, my Wrong use of Stringbuilder

---

---

As I was in a small discussion about the use of the -errorAction Switch,
with NotBotherMeWithSpam,

I did think of a very useless and confusing use of it with new-item.

but as I think we where spaming the NG a bit already ;-),

I will post it here (below Sig).

as I type another error on my part came in on the NG,
my use of the stringbuilder class was wrong (I did use it to show where to use [VOID], but as you see below not with the stringbuilder ;-) )

you should use it like this :

$sb = $sb.append("newText")

so that would mean another edit to my script to generate "WMI method call" sample-scripts : MSH get-WmiMethodHelp (GWM) Update + format tips.

(I leave that up to you)
