This looks like one of those questions to which the author already knows the answer, and posts the question on an alternate account so they can get all the upvotes for their subsequent detailed explanation for the behavior of their contrived example.
- bonoboTP 7y agoYou don't have to do that on StackOverflow (and other StackExchange sites). It is explicitly encouraged to answer your own questions, or put in other words: to share your knowledge in a Q&A format.
- otherme123 7y agohttps://stackoverflow.com/help/self-answer https://stackoverflow.com/help/self-answer If you are in SO for the points, splitting them between two accounts seems lame. Remember that the question also collects points and badges! I've never checked the user that answers to see if it's the same user that is asking, and it happened to me a couple of times that I tried to upvote my own answer.
