Sep 18, 2016 at 20:47 comment added michael.hor257k @EdwinAshworth As it happens, I wrote my answer before you flagged the question as a duplicate. Not that it matters much, because I don't think the other question provides an answer to this one - and I don't see why your opinion on this matter should take precedence over mine.
Sep 18, 2016 at 20:41 comment added Edwin Ashworth I'm sorry, michael.hor257k, but accepting your opinion would lead to the question someone once asked here about the best way to keep goldfish being on-topic. I said flagged (ie pointed out) as a duplicate. As Janus Bahs Jacquet has said: '[Y]ou should always keep in mind the possibility of duplicates when reading (and answering) a question, and consider how likely a question is to be a duplicate. This one … [pretty] likely.' If the same questions keep being allowed and answered, the site degenerates into an inconsistent hotch-potch.
Sep 18, 2016 at 18:12 comment added michael.hor257k @EdwinAshworth Answering a question already marked as duplicate is not possible. What you should really ask yourself is whether the answer helped the person asking for help. I am under the impression you forgot what this is all about, before anything else.
Sep 18, 2016 at 17:47 comment added Edwin Ashworth This (1) is answering a question already flagged as a duplicate, (2) does not even mention emphatic do, and (3) gives no supporting evidence, just coming across as personal opinion about correctness.
