Almost all my reputation is from a question [1] that I just happened to see and answer before anyone could close it as "bad quality" or "duplicate". Had I been a minute or two later I suspect it would have been closed as poor quality. I only spotted it by pure chance because I had just wondered the same thing before having a "duh" moment when I realised it was a really simple solution to what sounds complicated (but isn't). So I was able to interpret the "real" question and answer it. But, as you say, never a bit of feedback from the question asker. No acceptance, just abandonment. It just slowly gathers karma, around 10 per month for ~10 years.
