I agree that the answer to this question is easily available if one use Google; but if you don't have the time or patience to write up an answer here, I think you should just leave the links as a comment instead of an _answer_ - that's what I've seen being done so far in SO. Just saying.

How would copy-pasting what they said and taking credit for it be any more helpful? So I put an editorial on my posts to let people know how they can find knowledge for themselves.. that's added-value. It answers the question - so it's an answer.

Were it not for SO etiquette and community standards I'd just go with STFW. It's what I'd tell any developer under me if they asked. It teaches (well, forces) initiative - but let's not get into that debate. That's not what I did. I answered the question and made it pretty darn clear how I did it too. No crime in that, surely?

@Rushyo +1 you took the time to find the answers and give the links @Amarghosh the quality of the answer mirrors the quality of the question

I remember reading somewhere (in meta, iirc) that mere links are better posted as comments in SO. And I didn't mean you should copy paste and take the credit; I said post it as a comment and don't take the credit (the rep). That said, personally I don't care if you earn some rep from this one - after all you did a search, and didn't post a lmgtfy link. Btw, I like how you said STFU from within the etiquette of SO and community standards. @Patrick I believe comment notifications are done only for the first @ reference in a comment.

@Amarghosh I wasn't actually aware that @ had special significance. Something new every day :]

@Amarghosh That would inadvertently hurt Maged's accept rate, not really viable. It might also be ignored, even though it answers the question - since it just looks like a comment. It's not really a comment, it's an answer. Messy semantics to do it any other way.
