| Mar 20, 2018 at 12:16 | comment | added | Elder Geek | Thank you for providing clarity on this important topic. The accept stands. My comment was unclear (that's an admission, not an excuse). Clearly Link1, Link2, Link3 is no more an answer than Link0. Context is needed to provide clarity. I concur. | |
| Mar 20, 2018 at 10:46 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | @ElderGeek I made some additions to my answer and I'm notifying you because you accepted the earlier version and may want to reconsider now. I try not to edit my answers after they are accepted but I felt I had missed an important point. Feel free to edit my answer or comment if I have misunderstood. | |

| Mar 19, 2018 at 15:43 | comment | added | Elder Geek | I couldn't have said it better myself. I try very hard to consider link death in crafting my "combination" answers. I'm always hesitant to duplicate the work of others on this site as since my answer relies on their answers it seems unfair to me to not take the opportunity to hopefully deliver them some well deserved upvotes (which reduces the chance of link death) I suppose it's possible (but unlikely) that help.ubuntu.com or wiki.ubuntu.com could go down. If that were to happen I would hope that a member of the community would drop me a "link is dead" comment so I could fix it. Cheers! | |
