    On meta it just means someone disagreed with you - not that it's a bad answer. Commented Jun 17, 2011 at 10:34
  • This person still could explain why he/she disagrees... Commented Jun 17, 2011 at 10:36

    I agree with you and I'll take it a step further. I have a 100% accept rate on all Stack sites because I take the time to post an answer myself if/when nobody else can. Presumably the original problem was eventually solved. I don't think there's a good excuse for not doing this unless you just never find a solution... and that I find hard to believe. If there's really no solution, then that becomes the answer. Commented Mar 21, 2012 at 23:10
  • After 2 years, I have to confess: I now disagree with myself. I can't believe I really wrote this. The acceptance rate is gone, and that's good news. Commented Oct 9, 2013 at 14:35
