Apr 7, 2010 at 6:42 comment added Gnome @gman: Perhaps I just didn't see the same stigma you did there (but did see it in the "pretty silly" comment), but I am fine changing to "FAQ'd". :) Even if I had seen this question first (I didn't, I added the FAQ after not finding an FAQ for another question), I also think editing this question would've been a worse result than the other, because editing this and deleting the other did flash briefly through my mind earlier.
Apr 7, 2010 at 6:27 comment added GManNickG @Gnome: I know answering your own question is recommended, I know indicating duplicates is also recommended, and I know this isn't in FAQ form. But you could edit this question to make it so. I'm just pointing out it's a bit unorthodox to claim a question is a duplicate (which means it predicted the future, very cool), when it's "not". I'm not saying your newer QA is worse; in fact I think it's much better. But I think a better comment would have just been "FAQ'd: [link]", whereas the stigma around "Duplicate:" is a bit worse.
Apr 7, 2010 at 4:58 comment added Gnome @gman: Answering your own FAQ questions is recommended on the FAQ index. Indicating duplicates of FAQs is also recommended. I realize this question is older, but I neither knew about it at the time I answered the other nor is this one in the recommended form for FAQs. If I hadn't been editing & retagging ~100 questions tonight, I wouldn't have even found this one. Exactly what problem do you see?
Apr 7, 2010 at 4:39 comment added GManNickG @Gnome: Pretty silly to ask a question, answer it yourself, find a question that's older and just like, and call it a duplicate. If anything, yours is the duplicate.
