And likely will remain the "accepted" answer, unless who made the question comes bothers to come back to it.
This is a huge problem with SO, the person making the question is not usually the most qualified to decide and they usually won't come back to check for further answers.
One of many reasons I stopped answering a long time ago.

- shawn_w 3y agoThat's why "accepted answer" isn't supposed to be treated as "best answer", but just "answer that helped the asker" (and, yeah, often it's the blind leading the blind). IIRC they recently changed the default sorting of answers to not always put the accepted one first to try to help with that common misconception.
- pwdisswordfishc 3y agoActually, the best answer was written by the question poster himself. Who is probably still not going to mark it as accepted out of a misguided sense of politeness.
- tejohnso 3y agoThey said they don't think their answer is best because the question was "What does it do" not, "Where is it from".
- pwdisswordfishc 3y agoThat's an excuse. The real reason is to avoid drama by withdrawing Internet points. Some people can be very salty about this.
