| Nov 30, 2023 at 7:57 | comment | added | Clockwork | It reminds me of when I found a movie which happened to have been already asked, and there were details in the question and the answer I felt like adding. The best practice in my case would have been to ask a separate question and write a separate answer (which I never did because it's not such a good practice). | |

| Nov 29, 2023 at 14:27 | comment | added | Alex Robinson | @Randal'Thor I did upvote OP's answer at the time and other than the fact that the question is now closed, is rewriting an answer from the ground up in the spirit of an "edit"? | |
| Nov 29, 2023 at 14:22 | comment | added | DavidW | It seems to be more common practice here to update the existing answer with additional details than to post a competing answer. | |
| Nov 29, 2023 at 13:24 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor Mod | Personally, if the OP finds their own answer, I always give that an upvote to reward them bothering to come back and post it, and I'd prefer editing that answer to add more detail rather than posting a competing answer. (Some people always edit correct-but-brief story-ID answers, no matter who they come from, rather than posting their own longer answer, but I don't have strong opinions either way on that.) | |
