Hi folks
Alright time to sort this one out.
Rakesh Vasu, what happened was the following.
I split the thread, and created a new one starting from Jeff Wharton's post. This made it look like he started it, but due to the way the process works of splitting a thread, it takes the username from the first post.
This was done as I felt that the original posters thread was hijacked by the discussion. So to allow the original poster of the question to get replies to their question and to allow people to comment on the discussion that was happening, I split the thread
from the point after your response. You can this information in the bottom of the first post -
The reason your post/signature was included is that Jeff seems to by default, quote the post he is replying to for clarity as it seems to me. I have removed the quote and put in an explanation of the thread split.
Now to followup on this.
Did you do anything wrong not really. It wasn't in the guidelines for this forum and like you said other posters were doing the same so you followed convention in this case. In other higher volume forums this is not the case.I have now added this to the
guidelines for the forum based on the feedback. Please see the guidelines
here
The whole proposing your answer as the answer is more of an etiquette thing rather than business rule but to avoid confusion, I do think that Microsoft should "enforce the etiquette" by removing the ability to propose your own answer as the answer. That
is my opinion anyways. You can also add your comments on the thread
here
As for whether it was inflammatory, I don't think so. To the point yes, inflammatory no. I do not wish to go into the differences in what is polite and whats not as that is a long sociological debate :)
Hopefully that clarifies the situation
