Can you unmark an answer as a best?

Can you unmark an answer as a best question? Like you haven't had any caffeine yet, and your vision's all burry, and woops you clicked on the wrong one.

I can see it now:

"Who unmarked my answer as best? Matt? Jessamyn? Censorship!"

It's already on the to-do list. Although I imagine it isn't real high priority these days.

It's too big a job for i_cola to do alone, and you have to invade from east to west, so as to hit the time zones in order of caffeination. Clearly, those of us on the east coast are going to have to pitch in to help as the revolution proceeds westward.

But someone will have to bring doughnuts.

You know the expression "measure twice, cut once?"

Drink two cups of coffee, then log in. 'Cause this is a write-once product.

It may not be the Japanese or the American Empire, but it's somebody's empire alright. Seriously, what was wrong with that yellow flag with the green kangaroo one it? That was awesome!

Back on topic, is there a reason why the to-do list isn't on the wiki? If not, perhaps I'll start one so that people can look at that before posting feature requests to MeTa.

"American Empire" = so clever! Japanese troops murdered millions of civilians in China and Korea between 1931-1945. You should look into it. Also read up on the Battle of the Coral Sea.

MLIS - take a chill pill. It was a joke, get over it.

That was all pretty funny until MLIS took it too far. See children? This is why we can't have nice things.

is the best question bit down? All I get in AskMe is the option to flag (as best comment presumably). Didn't there used to be a little check mark thingy? I'm clearly very confused. Are you my son?
posted by jmgorman at 9:07 AM on May 12, 2005

You can mark "best" answers in ask.me threads that you started. You can't mark questions as 'best'. And you can't mark best answers if you weren't the one to start the thread.

Does that answer yr question, jmgorman?
