I and others (it appears) will sometimes leave something 'pointing the way' to an answer if it looks like it would help -- especially if we are in a hurry/typing on a phone ('there's my bus!'). If someone takes it and runs with it, great. | |

I think I'll just accept that some people have a different attitude to morality than I have, and take no offence from it. | |

| Feb 26, 2014 at 21:53 | comment | added | Donarsson | No, I'm really talking about situations where e.g. I ask them if they checked the spelling of their command and half a minute later someone else copy-pastes my comment into an answer. The user finds he did in fact spell it wrong and accepts the answer. I mean, of course I could put “check the spelling” as an answer for every single question where I suspect that might be the problem, but I really think this belongs into the comments. I don't really care about the reputation, but in my opinion it's still unfair to do this. But if there's nothing to do about it, I'll just accept that. | |
