I’m wondering if there isn’t a better solution to the “closed as duplicate” issue. If you post a question it might be closed as a “duplicate” even if: 1) your question relates to a newer version of a technology, and previous answers do not address it 2) your question is similar to others but asks a more specific question, especially if it demonstrates having read prior knowledge 3) your question is more well-written than others I don’t know what the solution is to this problem, but I think SO needs to give it more thought. Another low hanging fruit is rude comments. I don’t know what the policy is now, but SO needs to tighten it up.
