Wow. So I asked this question again, not having found this post. The irony is overwhelming since this post clearly fell prey to the exact issue I was bringing up.

My post is here Mark wrong answers

Brief summary of my point is that a couple of off-the-mark answers can completely derail a question. Intentions aside, the fact of the matter is that people want points and don't take the time to suss out whether questions that have "answers" are worth their time. Odds are, the OP just hasn't accepted one, or will never return.

It would be really nice to have an opportunity to say "I'm here. I'm actively reviewing answers, and nobody has submitted a correct one yet". That would greatly improve traffic past the 2nd and 3rd answer.
