| Apr 20, 2013 at 13:20 | comment | added | slhck Mod | I don't necessarily disagree with your arguments and think you have valid points. But if you say that one person has two separate answers to offer, then they actually have two solutions to offer. Whether they have to be in separate answers altogether is debatable. After all, I'd much more enjoy reading a complete post that discusses two different solutions, nicely glued together, rather than two answers without connection. | |
