in reply to How node in SOPW is answered? I suggest author's ability to reject bad answers
Let's give a person who asked a question right to "reject", hide or even delete an answer that he thinks does nothing good to add.
Having watched questions go by for a few years now, I've seen more than a handful of questioners who, on occassion, need a 2x4 applied to their skulls to get them to see that they're either asking the wrong question, or have been ignoring good answers. Handing such people the ability to delete replies is a recipe for raising the frustration level of people who are trying to help them. IMHO, this is a bad idea.
