> There's too much emphasis on closing questions that are duplicates (when in fact they are not, and technology changes so a duplicate question asked 2 years later is going to get different responses) I've always been a little surprised that that they don't have a formal system of 'recycling' popular questions where they have a new 'edition' every 1/2/3/whatever years and they just prune the ones that don't get new answers. It's valuable to get the latest answer to questions, but lots of us operate in past technological climates, so it's good to keep old answers accessible.
