Question about converting a multi-page PDF file to PNG files - can it be reopened?

Which Stack Exchange site should I post a question about certificate providers to?
In fact, "what's a good free GUI zip client for windows" is a quite bad question for Super User and would probably be closed rather fast, as it's not constructive and asking for a product recommendati …

2 diamond moderators closed a post
In January 2012, I didn't happen to be a moderator yet.
Since the ♦ is added to the user names wherever they're displayed, this also retroactively affects all "closed as" messages, leading to:

I believe my question was unfairly closed as off-topic
Since you gave us a real problem to work with, this question is now specific enough so as (hopefully) not to end up in an endless list of answers with network monitoring tools. In essence: Ask about t …

Can someone please explain to me how they are exact duplicates when they have nothing in common except that they have something to do with hidden files?
