I often link to other people's answers while explaining the difference between their approach and mine, and sometimes to point out where to find information that is relevant to the question but that I consider outside the scope of my answer. These are signs that the answers are less tightly coupled, not more so, and I wouldn't hesitate to link from one of my own answers to another of my own answers on the same question for such reasons. I only infrequently double-answer, though. | |

If you have two answers to a question, that can be veiwed as two stand alone answers, I see no issues with it. Often in computing, there are many ways to compleat a task. If you write a second answer that expands on the first, or refrences it then that should be an edit of the first one, as it is not self contained. | |
