You try to help out, then some idiot re-posts your answer whilst at the same time claiming that your answer is incorrect..
[Edit] The duplicate answer has been deleted. I love CP but the Q&A section is a bit forked IMHO - just makes it feel like it's not worth the hassle getting involved 
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

You cannot blame CodeProject for the actions of a few idiots. The majority of people posting in Q&A do try to post useful responses, and treat their fellows with due respect.

The guy had a 65k reputation and "Legend" status - my guess is by doing the same thing across CP Q&A.
It wouldn't have been quite as bad if it hadn't been an easy question - the OP just needed a second set of eyes to spot his simple mistake.

Sadly, that is quite possible.

Well I guess most of us have failed at that once or twice in our coding lives.

Some people's rep is almost entirely made up of such activities.

It's not the usual suspect I was thinking of, then.
I recently had a fairly long argument with He Who Shall Not Be Named because I'd answered the question that the OP has asked, rather than the question that HWSNBN thought the OP meant. Apparently, telling the OP that something they didn't actually ask for can't be done is more important than telling them how to do what they actually asked for. 
We're currently waiting for the OP to clarify what they meant, but I'm not holding my breath.

You're right, it takes a glut of idiots to create what's happening in QA !
«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009

You will always find member doing wrong (I done some myself), but that's not CP or the QA...Do and hassle a bit more...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Agreed, but I do personally think QA is a bit of a mess.

A decent size chunk of the good people left or stopped posting - largely because of having to dealing with nonsense that goes on in Q&A.

When you walk out the door to a pub is it any less mess out there?

... Wear a T-shirt that reads: "NO, I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE A F***ING TOUR!" on the front, and "DO I LOOK LIKE THE KIND OF IDIOT WHO USES A F***ING SELFIE STICK?" on the back
(The degree of expletive-deletery is up to you).
It's become unbe-bluddy-lievably annoying, the way one after another after another approaches you with loud demands for taking tours or buying bluddy selfie-sticks.
Even with all the meetings and discussions I had to go to, I think my most used phrase for the trip was "Sto parLANdo, qui!", from the number of rude interruptions I was subjected to on the street.
Bluddy shameful.
And it's worth noting that not one of them was Italian; they're all bluddy foreigners, over there to scrounge a living.

I noticed the prevalence of the feckin retard canes when I was in Paris at New Year. In the Louvre, people were taking selfies of themselves with the myriad artworks in the background. FFS, these people should be charged extra to take the nob-rods into any public place.

Right. If you're not walking into one being held out by some PITA shouting "YOU BUY! YOU BUY!", you're walking into one being held out by a moron who thinks it's cool.
In the stupidest places, too. Some of the most fun parts of the Vatican involve lots of really narrow corridors. No-one's experience of them is improved by morons extending yard-long sticks.
My last time in Paris was two years ago, They didn't exist, way back then.
Ah, the good old days...
