      You cannot even mark it as duplicate without providing a link to the answer. What are you talking about?

          No, it is always the same question.

          … from a person sitting in a very different situation with a slightly different problem.

            Some times the question has no semblance at all. Other times the answer has no semblance at all. Some times there’s no answer at all. And obviously, modern SO is full of people that will just post a ridiculously incorrect answer. There is a wide variety of possibilities!

            I remember being very surprised as a I followed one of those links and got the answer I needed. But I don’t remember exactly when.

              I’ve had both happen a lot. Only the basic stuff gets a correct answer, because nuance is difficult even for the tech savvy.
