With respect to this stackoverflow blog post, I again, recently encountered a problem that I have had a better understanding of for some time. It could be useful to post a Question/Answer pair on the main site.

I'd like to know what would be a good amount of time to wait after asking the question, before I submit my answer?

I ask this because, even though I have what I think is a good answer, I'm still very interested to see what view the community has.

I find this whole thing distasteful and disingenuous. You appear to refuse to accept anybody else's answers to your questions, but just can't wait to accept your own. – John Dibling Feb 27 at 16:24
Where have I accepted my own answer that leads you to believe I can't wait to do it? (BTW, not once, ever). Incorrect on both assumptions. Also, what do you find distasteful about freely sharing experiences and information? – Toby Booth♦ Feb 27 at 16:32
You would not have asked this question on meta if your intent was other than to start asking questions for the purpose of answering them yourself. – John Dibling Feb 27 at 16:34
There is a difference between answering your own question and accepting your own answer that seems to have eluded you. – Toby Booth♦ Feb 27 at 16:36
Time will tell. – John Dibling Feb 27 at 16:39

If you feel your answer will influence the answers that others post, you may want to wait for a few answers or days before adding your own. Otherwise, I see no point in waiting.
