¿Question #4519?
puffinge: What's with this new trend of being the first to answer your own question?

Felimid: Narcissism. Sad, isn't it?
Caerid: Wha. . . Why didn't you answer it first??
OmegaII: No idea, but apparently you can explain it to me.
MisterCranky: It's called "slimehanded pimpleness," or "SP" for short.
Karlsen: It's a bit like thumbing your own posts really
vandemonium: Think of it as preening and it all makes sense.
DasViktor: I like it!
jessitron: It's one reason to ask them.
Wabete: bad form

2amp: dunno, never asked any
Ardos: *shrugs* I dunno
Boreas: Blame it on Paris Hilton
Xelforp: Did you?
CharmlessMan77: I didn't get a chance to see how you answered it. Or was this rhetorical?
jcarvin: Because you obviously have an opinion about it
DHEK: I've not noticed it. Or did it happen before I came here?
malloc: it lame
Panzer: prestige? self promotion? stroking of one's ego?

Leo-T: I'm not a trendy person
dmomo: Wasn't aware of it.
GrimJester: thanks for the inspiration
cowdog: Narcissism?
heli: Because actually the question was meant to be longer, but if had put that text in the question, people would complain that it's too long and then not answer.
chisainikkoo: People just want to feel special and say that were first at something, even if it is themselves.
dragonewtking: its very trendy
POvidiusNaso: It's just a trend. Like Board games.
SisyphusX: It's to keep your answer ratio high.

Eddy Bee: Don't know... I haven't asked a question yet
SiddGames: Seems rather silly, no?
bigbadsteve: i dunno
Loquutus: I didn't do it on purpose, I swear!
puffinge: I guess if you have to answer every question anyway, you might as well get to it
Belash: nice way to get the ball rolling
javelin98: Well, did you?
djlg: Some people can't bear to leave a question unanswered. Or they're just narcissic.
GI Joe: No idea

jttm: I do not.
Null Signature: I can do that?
CDRodeffer: That's funny.
Randy Cox: It seems that when you ask 20 questions in a row, only one shows up on your "Your Questions" link. It shows at the top, and it's way behind (like, maybe the 4th question you asked). If you answer it (being first), it'll move to the bottom of "Your Questions" and your 5th one asked will now appear at the top. You do this time and time again to get them all to appear in the proper place in "Your Questions" list. At least that's why I do it.
chaddyboy_2000: It's the latest rage in France.
skelebone: I do it a lot because I usually don't ask questions until I've answered all those available.
Spielfreak: It's not a trend, it's merely impatience
Lord_Prussian: I think it happens when you answer questions shortly after asking them and there's probably nothing more to it. Or is there?
CortexBomb: New trend? I always answered my own questions first
