What to do with same answers to different questions by the same user?

Not sure if this has already been discussed here, so here it goes. Often, when reviewing the Late Answers queue, I run into some answers that seem to be posted many times by the same user

I understand this is probably because their author find a solution to a problem that hasn't been documented/answered yet, or they consider valuable, or maybe it's something hard to find, etc., so they post it many times on different questions.

Examples here and here.

What shall be done when this happens? Should I flag one of them (probably the latter) so it's deleted and recommend the user to simply quote the first one? Is it ok to have both?
