Here is the scenario:
I have a question and that I want to post on SO.
So I type in the question and very carefully parse the similar questions list.
The exact (or near-exact) question comes up in the list, so I go to that question and parse the answers and comments.
The original poster is clearly not English first language, but I understand what he wants because it seems it is the same problem I am facing (98% sure)
. None of the responses are helpful to me, however the question could be phrased better.
Can I post an "Answer" as a re-phrase of the question?
Is it okay for me to "piggyback" on this question?
Is it okay for me to add additional "what if"'s and *"I also need"*s?
What is the etiquette on SO regarding this?
Edit
Thanks for the helpful responses. I will post a new question and reference the original or (inspiring) question.
