Well, a poster can get downvoted for just about anything here... Especially for answering their own question. I can think of two situations where the answer was only apparent after 5-6 hours more coding. Posting the answer has almost always turned that into a negative node for me. (Even though the rest of the Monastery did not figure the problem out in that 5-6 hours...)

Of course replying with "RTFM" seems to be the best way to increase your positive nodes....
