    Is it OK to answer same Q more than once or is this against the akaQA unwritten code of conduct?

    It's fine. Just expect that some members may think you are padding so you can get extra karma points. Ignore them if they say anything.

    Good advise especialy for the second part :)

    Hi valR:  Personally, I try to answer a question as thoroughly as I can with the first response, even if I am contradicting myself when giving a second scenario.  I am one of those who is not prone to thumbing up a second answer, especially when it could be made as a comment in response to someone else's answer.  If I want to say something else, I might edit my answer; it isn't reread by people, I'm sure, so it's not the ideal answer.


    I think if you have a solid answer to post, certainly.  Everyone's opinion and insight is welcome, even if we don't all agree.  I look forward to your perspective and usually find myself nodding in agreement.  Usually  :D

    Everyone's opinion and insight is welcome, even if we don't all agree. 100% AGREE.
    SOMETIMES I FEEL SOME MEMBERS TEND TO NOT READ OR IGNORE COMMENTS SOME OF WHICH ARE REALLY INTERESTING (WHY NOT KP's FOR COMMENTS?). MY REASON FOR ANSWERING AGAIN RATHER THAN MAKING A COMMENT IS TO "KEEP A FIRE (THAT SEEMS TO BE DYING) BURNING.
    I look forward to your perspective and usually find myself nodding in agreement. WOULD YOU ELABORATE MORE ON THIS LAST SENTENCE? :)

    :D Quite often, when I read your answers to a question, I'll think "Yes, that's good point." You may state the obvious (obvious to me, anyway), or point out something I hadn't considered. So I find your thoughts often are along the same lines as mine.

    If the question appears, it is there to be answered.  There shouldn't be so many repeats but if you like the first answer, by all means, write it again!

    Thank you too :)
    It's not that don't like my 1st answer. A question could many answers coming from different persons - as you see it here in aakaQa - but from the same person too.
