... And IMO, any kind of answer should be submitted in the proper answer box, even if it has been first suggested following a discussion in the "Ask asker" box, so that
- people have an opportunity to agree/disagree with it,
- the asker can award points properly, and - maybe the most important point -
- somebody looking up this question at a later point in time doesn't have to wade through a lengthy, unstructured discussion, but can get the most useful information glancing quickly over the provided answers and how they were received by the peers.
I agree with you entirely, and the third point you mak here is especially interesting - when I think about my KudoZ search habits I do just this - first look at all the answer entered and then at the Ask asker section.
So, just to re-emphasise your point, even the selfless 'non-point-grabbing' contributors that come up with an answer during a discussion should be encouraged to enter their answer as a separate answer.
