Mark as best answer option

[dotty.]

do you use it? I do all the time. Wonder when it starts totting up the scores?

[boxtops]

No, I've never bothered - it's only available now on the OP's view isn't it?

[dotty.]

yes that's why it's called mark as best answer, it's about whether the answer answered the question (as opposed to the answer being a question, or of no help, or annoyingly negative lol :)

[boxtops]

Yes I see - but I've never really fathomed the purpose of it, unless you want o go back to it some time later?

I think comparisons are odious, I wouldn't dream of picking one answer out above another. All answers to my questions get prizes.

[boxtops]

I'm just grateful when anyone at all answers one of mine!

[dotty.]

have I never answered one of your questions then?

[jno]

she said she was grateful, dotty
