It's just a phase. Note that your answer doesn't need to be the first, or the only one (quick answers get more votes initially; good answers tend to get the most votes, eventually). For that matter, it's not even necessary to answer just the newest questions - I've received (and given) answers months after posting the question, and bubbled to the top amongst the older answers.



Great point. I just upvoted an answer to a git question I had and it dated back to 2009.
