"As another poster said, as well, sometimes "repeat questions" age out after a certain point, where a newer method is actually more appropriate than an older one anyway."

I rather like the approach of editing the original question/solution or posting the latest solution there as otherwise this just creates fragmention.

I believe we need the history, especially when dealing with legacy versions. The first thing I usually check is the date or contexts to infer it.

That's somehow even worse than doing support on Discord, where at least there is a history and the (bad!) search or one of the regulars might remember something to find it.
