[**This answer**](http://stackoverflow.com/a/5800059/246246)<sup>*</sup> is a picture of some text. Now I thought about this for a moment. This text could be considered an answer. After all, it attempts to provide a solution. I didn't read the question to see if it's a right solution, but nonetheless a solution is provided.

**In reference** to all the questions here about posting only a link as an answer, I thought "well this image *is* only a link, after all." But an answer is provided inside the image. So maybe I could just type out the text that's inside the image, and just delete the image from the answer?

**New dilemma:** where did this picture come from? Honestly, with the font and the way it's formatted, it really looks *to me* like it is a picture of some text from a textbook. Just typing out what is in the image *could* violate some copyrights somewhere since we have no idea where this solution came from. Did the user even come up with it or did they just find it somewhere else?

**Final question:** should these types of posts just be deleted without any question? Investigated?
