I had posted a question (How do I setup keyboard macros?How do I setup keyboard macros?) because I couldn't find a dupe of it with an answer. About an hour later I found a solution and answered my own question.

Now my quandary... Do I go to those historical questions and mark them as dupes of my recently posted Question and self-Answer?

The alternative would be to migrate my answer to the earliest question and mark my own question as a dupe.

On one hand I hate deleting what I write but on the other hand I want to do the right thing.

Your thoughts?

What's your view on marking historical questions as dupes of your question?
