Questions often can get different answer on different sites. Just because a question has another answer on another site doesn't automatically mean that it should be closed.

  • While I agree this is sometimes true, in this case even the OP admits that they found the answer they were looking for.

  • @Tester101 since most communities with overlap have slightly different focuses, it is not common for an answer on a 2nd site to completely answer a question on the first. So the appropriate way is to answer with a link to the other site's question (and of course proper citation) and then reword to fit the scope of the current site.
