This thread has a checkmark on the front page of AskMe, but no best answers marked inside. Opera on Mac OS 10.3.9.

Ditto. (IE on Win XP, I'm a boring person.)
- and the best answer to winston -
However, I don't see a response by winston, perhaps it got admin-deleted?

It was a response to a different thread, I assume jokingly checked as the right answer and then later deleted.

Yeah Winston posted something to the thread, then followed up with "whoops, wrong thread" then flagged both his comments, so I went in and removed them even though one of them [something about a good place to get t-shirts] was marked as best answer.

Funny thing is that I've actually seen this before but I figured it would never ever happen again. Someone wrote answer like "this is what you bothered to use your one question a week for" and it got flagged as the best answer somehow (irony?), and then deleted later.

That's pretty funny, but then it does not take much to amuse me.
