Came across this question:
The OP posted the question in December 2010, then it looks like the OP edited the question an hour later to include an answer. Six months later the OP posts the answer in the actual answer block and accepts it.
Three days later, another user (less than 1000 rep) copies the posted answer and edits it into the question and then deletes the accepted answer.
That doesn't seem appropriate, but how did that happen?
