| Mar 24, 2016 at 0:39 | comment | added | fixer1234 | If a question is going to attract the same answers, there isn't a reason to duplicate it. If you're looking for different answers, edit the question to clearly differentiate it, after which it can be voted to reopen. | |

| Mar 23, 2016 at 15:03 | comment | added | geneorama | Besides the first example is more important. The timestamp question illustrates the point better, I just have more familiarity with my own supplemental example. (The point there is that I wish there was a better way to discuss the process) | |
| Mar 23, 2016 at 15:01 | comment | added | geneorama | @Ramhound "not personal" is interesting. I want to ask good questions, but if my questions are downvoted and I can't understand why, I'm forced to conclude that I'm incapable of asking appropriate questions. Maybe I should do less research before asking questions since I have to do research after asking? I haven't figured out a perfect strategy, but sometimes I need to get answers so I keep asking anyway. | |

| Mar 22, 2016 at 21:47 | comment | added | Ramhound | Votes on meta mean something different, I don't agree us normal users, are being over zealous. So I voted accordingly. | |
| Mar 22, 2016 at 21:44 | comment | added | Ramhound | The original revision had the exact same syntax error, I don't see how, we are over zealous for closing a question when an existing question which asks about the same error already exists and has an answer. You do understand a close vote isn't personal right? | |
| Mar 22, 2016 at 21:40 | comment | added | Ramhound | Your question isn't marked as a duplicate. The first example was flagged as a duplicate by two normal users, and only closed early, when a moderator agreed. This means the question was likely going to be closed by 5 normal users eventual (I would have voted to close it) | |
