Ah, the force is strong in this one...
We're programmers, right? There's always a way!

Really? How about "allocating a question", giving you sole answer rights (for a limited amount of time), so nobody else can start typing an answer. Probably opens up a new box of cans of worms...

Something like this did exist in the early days, when it would show a message like "Locked by MrX, lock expires in 10 minutes", or similar wording. I suspect it caused some troubles and was thus removed.
It's time for a new signature.

Yes, massive queues must have been forming with millions of members waiting in line for an opportunity to provide an answer. It would be a reverse denial-of-service defense situation, wouldn't it?

It still exists for edit's, I never knew it exited for answering tho

Maybe that's what I was thinking of.

The lock message only applied to editing a question or answer. It never applied to adding new answers.

There was a time when I got things wrong once a year, then it went to once a month, it's rapidly approaching once an hour. Plz send sample code for gud memory ... its urgent, I think!

I've got just the code you want. Somewhere around here, or was it in SourceSafe. No maybe on that external drive that crashed. Hmmm, what was I looking for ...

Agree with Dave, the more answers the more confidence being correct or of value.

Agree with two Dave's... 
Irrelevant!
It's fine, if we have multiple similar answer at same time.

I've seen it happen here as well any many other websites. I do think it's relevant but I don't see any good way of getting around it either. Even if you knew someone was posting an answer at the same time as you, you have no way of knowing it will be anything like yours.

And there are no reputation points for mind reading, yet.
Don't bother posting a reply, I know what you're thinking ...

If two people answer the same time with essentially the same answer, then as the original poster, I would think "hey, that must be the answer".
It's just the nature of the site.

I'm getting freqent 404 errors here. It doesn't seem to matter where I try to go on the site, or how I try to get there. It also doesn't happen all the time.

Just about to report that myself.
I tried to post and got a 404, but click back and retry worked.

I got 404'd by clicking the link to this page. 
"A Journey of a Thousand Rest Stops Begins with a Single Movement"

I just got from CP:
- a 404 page, saying "HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found." No mention of CodeProject.
- shortly thereafter, a badly formatted Who's Who page; all the data present, lots of orange thingies missing; the green menu just showed a long list of items, layed out vertically. Have proof, could mail.
And I got another 404 when posting this the first time, so had to type it twice.

I think what we're witnessing is the first build of the CP site that was done with VS2010.

We've just been upgrading our webservers and I suspect the tech involved forgot to pull the particular server out of the load balance cluster before shutting it down. There have been Words.

If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

I should think so. I'm glad you've given up communicating via the medium of dance. It wasn't pretty, and that time you did riverdance did result in four of your hamsters shorting out the eastern seaboard.
