It seems like most of the time that I begin writing up a question for these forums, I wind up coming up with the answer while trying to articulately pose the question.

I'll write two eloquent paragraphs about my latest quandry and find myself pre-emptively defending the design decisions I've made - which turn out to be much more complicated when translated from code to English. After I realize how complex my precepts are, or what all the problems to consider are, I often think up a simple solution that bypasses all the craziness I was typing up.

How often does this happen to the rest of you?
