Long ago, I asked this question. It was never a duplicate of this one, since the question was pretty different, and when the question changed it still had a different viewpoint, yet it was closed as duplicate, and currently has only 2 reopen votes, including mine. I then asked an "exact duplicate", this one, to which Daniel answered in comments, and I just self-answered taking his comment and converting it to an answer. This question is to ask to reopen the first question to reclose it as the question it really is a duplicate of, i.e. the third one. And I ask because currently, if someone lands on the first question, he is redirected to a different question, which doesn't actually answer the first question, and so this person might not find an answer, well unless he reads the comments where I should have placed a link to question 3. If we reopen and reclose as a duplicate of question 3, the same person will find the answer. So can we do this?
