There was no dot at the end of the sentence, ergo it wasn't a sentence. No sentence, no capitalization.

The dot is called a Full Stop.
Absence of a Full Stop does not make what proceeded it 'not a sentence' it just means you forgot the full stop.

No, because then I'd capitalized the first letter

I'm also mixing my senses, so that ain't too bad.

We need evidence of plagiarizing. Why should we trust you? You don't have considerable reputation here. Please, forgive me my negative and suspicious attitude, but how can we know why do you report certain people?

Yep - that's a known "exploit". 
They aren't normally that blatant - but then they aren't normally that stupid.
It's abuse, and he's abusing the site: report both.

I really think this is a big problem. I detected a number of members who abused the possibility of self-answering. Worse, some even self-accept such "answers", which I call cheating.
Unfortunately, many of my reports did not convince enough CodeProject members. Only in few cases the abusers were banned. I've received suggestion that I might have over-reported some cases. Since that time, I only warn such members, and few of them took my warnings pretty aggressively ("What are you talking about! Nobody could answer my question, so I had to answer myself", something like that, or worse). I suggested to remove the possibility to self-answer from CodeProject UI, or at least the self-accepting. Such change would not hurt anyone, because, if some member have some good finding on her/his own question, nothing prevents such person from publishing a small Tips&Trips article on the topic, and, if such article is not appropriate, no one is really interested to see how some member creates a stupid mistake and later "fixes" the problem.
Don't you think we still have to raise this problem?

I think that the above case was a misuse of the possibilites provided here, and that should be "discouraged".
But providing an answer on one's own question can be appropriate: if an underlying problem was solved, and the answer is likely to help others with a similar problem; and the question ought to be marked "closed" somehow then - not necessarily the answer "accepted", just some way to show that no further answer is required. If the problem was a typo only, I'd prefer a "comment" instead of an "answer", plus such a closing of the question.
Answering one's own question (and even accepting that own answer) is also possible on StackOverflow.
Perhaps not giving rep points for the answer and accepting it (but still for others' upvotes on it) could help reduce the problem. A JavaScript alert telling that fact to the user might be necessary for those who otherwise won't believe it...

I agree that it can be appropriate. Sure. My idea is: it is not really important. Well, self-accepting does not make sense, but I can understand why such possibility exists.
It would be all right if not abuses. Unfortunately, inappropriate self-answering is pretty usual, and this is similar to the case you just reported.
I can explain where it comes from. I look at the past member's post if I see some especially stupid question. A bad question is a real reason to check up for re-posts, and, in, general, to see "what else such artist could ask"? And, pretty often, if there are many bad questions, you could see a number of "answers". This is where many non-answers, or, worse, fake answers are found.
Can you see the point? And I explained why not having self-answers at all would not hurt reasonable and nice-playing members.
