Yesterday I asked this questionthis question and received two comments from user RichardRichard which answer the question to my liking. Moreover, the comments answer the question better than the single submitted answer. I have asked the commenter to post an answer so I can accept it but he declined.

I have since done some more research based on the tip from the comments and found a few links to add to the information from the comments. My research didn't yield much (in this specific case, a confirmation of the comments at Wikipedia and a random forum post which also confirms the comments).

Should I post an answer as community wiki so I don't get credit for the commenter's work, post an answer as myself since I did additional research, or keep waiting for an additional answer (possibly downvoting the existing answer that I don't think is good)?

Answer my own question if I prefer the answers in the comments to submitted answers?
