| Jul 30, 2010 at 14:53 | comment | added | ShreevatsaR | "I think it's fairly indisputable that mine is the better answer" — Well, I upvoted the other answer for being concise and quickly telling a reader what to do. To understand what's going on in your answer one needs to compare the original code with the code in your answer, and/or read the explanation. The explanation is good for everyone, but I'd still prefer it if you prefaced you code with a line something like "Use a % instead of a blank line, like this:". :-) | |
| Jul 30, 2010 at 13:34 | comment | added | Andrew Stacey | To be clear: the division of reputation is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. What concerns me is two factors: firstly, I don't wish to offend anyone (I realise that in this case that's unlikely, but I'm looking for general advice); secondly, I want the "final state" of the question to be as useful as possible. | |

| Jul 30, 2010 at 13:22 | comment | added | Caramdir | In that particular case you were faster with providing a correct answer and then you added a nice explanation. So I did not bother adding an explanation to my answer and yours should be accepted. I'd don't really know why my answer has been upvoted ten times (and downvoted once). Also I totally agree with Jukka's answer below: We should aim to provide the best possible answer, who gets the points is secondary. | |
