I've earned "Necromancer" about a dozen times and I don't think it's a coincidence that they're some of the answers I'm most pleased with. I don't even bother answering old questions unless I think there's a clear gap in the existing answers that I can help fill.

Do you normally answer older questions that have already been answered, or newer questions with a few sub-optimal answers?

I find that most older questions have pretty useful answers so I can't really improve upon them.
