| Apr 30, 2019 at 1:11 | comment | added | darij grinberg | @user1729: Not sure if this is worth the hassle. Most of the links here work fine in either thread, and the old one isn't particularly active. | |
| Apr 29, 2019 at 9:03 | comment | added | user1729 | @darijgrinberg Could you please delete this answer? The question was closed for being a duplicate of this question. This answer and the close reason go hand-in-hand, but as I said about it is based on a miss-interpretation of this question. Possibly you could post your answer there? | |
| Apr 28, 2019 at 7:40 | comment | added | user1729 | I understand your point with the questions you list, but they are still tangential to the question. "within days" vs. "within years" is a great distinction. To quote the question: who the heck do we really expect to come back and "provide additional context" for a question that was asked two or even six years ago? | |

changed link to an answer to a link to the question (which was probably intended)

| Apr 27, 2019 at 22:12 | comment | added | darij grinberg | @user1729: If it is tangential, then the point is rather singular. The dupe still had at least one valid answer that could not be merged because it doesn't generalize to the dupe target. I don't think "within days" vs. "within years" is such a great distinction; to me, what matters is the existence of good answers. | |
| Apr 27, 2019 at 18:23 | comment | added | user1729 | I think this list is tangential to the question. Of the three links of yours I clicked on, one was closed as a duplicate and the other was closed within days of being posted. This question is about questions which were closed and deleted years after they were asked. | |
