If you continue on reading you'll find OPs comment below it:
"@StephenTouset -- indeed. That's actually a feature; see Its OK to Ask and Answer Your Own Questions. As [it was] pointed out, the question was prompted by the computerworld article [1]."
I like that SO lets you answer your own questions, it makes good references for other people to link to. (And if you saw the background from this[1] blog post it makes sense to have made it).
If he didn't have a big reputation prior to this question, the comments would have been much harsher. There are people who ask and answer on their own for the sake of "reputation whoring".
Did you just troll security.SE and then reasonably answer your own question? – Stephen Touset
