Am I wrong when I get annoyed when I post an answer, someone else sees it, and posts the SAME answer with some minor textual changes. Then after the answer has been there for say, 20 hours, if he posted it 40 minutes after you, it looks like they were posted at the same time.
I guess my question is, should this be considered Stackoverflow Taboo? Wouldn't it be more helpful to comment on the correct answer to help enhance it that way instead of posting a brand new one that is the exact same idea and try and steal votes.
And if it is considered Taboo, would I be justified in downvoting their answer...
Here is an example of something from Stackoverflow
I wrote
GregorianCalendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
return cal.getTimeZone();
And 40 minutes later, someone else wrote
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
TimeZone timeZone = cal.getTimeZone();
int rawOffset = timeZone.getRawOffset();
And the question was how to get the time zone on a Black Berry. Now granted Gregorian Calendar isn't supported on the black berry, but that was just a variable type, pretty easy to correct, other than that, nothing more was given other than a function call easily found in the Java Docs.
