Dave, please don't propose your own messages as answer (there is a nice discussion regarding this topic in the moderator forum, by the way).
* I marked your response as answer

Hi,
By posting an answer we already know that you think that this is "THE ANSWER", else why did you post it?!?
as well any other person who post an answer! he is sure that he post "THE ANSWER".
The Idea of proposing an answer is to let someone else say that he also think that this is "THE ANSWER".
If each person that think his response is the answer will propose his own answer then all responses will be marked.
* In very unique and rare cases it is done for administrative purpose as last resource. For example if the forum includes only one moderator and there are almost no other members that can and will propose responses, then the single Moderator might use that tool to propose his own response, so he will be able to ask the owner of the forum (which not must to be expert in the forum specific topic) to mark the answers which he proposed. This is something that fit for example local languages forum with no activity.
Here we have lot of Moderators, Answerers, and very active Owner...all these can propose your messages if they find it fit. There is no reason to propose your own message, which have several side affect like leading other people not to check the thread and maybe post their answer, which might fit the OS better, but above all, this is common behavior accepted in forums from the reason I explained above - by sending the message we already know that you propose it as answer, and if all will propose their responses then it is like no one will since all messages will me marked.
