| Apr 15, 2012 at 0:15 | comment | added | Andrew Barber | Exactly what I would say. Maybe something to add: Vote the same way you would vote if you weren't answering the question. | |

But saying you can never determine that on competing answers is just not trying. I've downvoted competing answers simply because they provide a JS solution to a question which specifically requested a CSS solution (example). But I tend to stick to downvoting things I know, for sure, are wrong. | |
