Thanks!

@TheoreticalEconomist When we were discussing possibilities how to find deleted posts, I have forgotten to mention that a browser stores cached files on your computer. (The details how can one find those files and whether it is difficult to find something in them are going to be browser-dependent.)

A somewhat related conversation from another room: Access to (some of) the deleted stuff.

I'm having difficulty finding discussions about "duplicate answers": Not among answers to a specific question, but answerers who have previously answered a question, see that question again, or a slight variation, and copy and paste the first answer to the newly encountered question, and maybe add no more than a line to the original?

My thinking is that if one can answer a new question with an answer one's written earlier, one should vote to close the "newer appearance" of the question, rather than copy and paste an answer that worked previously.

@MartinSleziak My search using "duplicate answers" on meta yielded posts about duplicate questions, as well as questions about answers the asker considers duplicates of two or more answers by two or more answerers to the same question post. I'm trying to learn or track down discussions of two or more question posts, answered by some user X, using essentially the same answer (even copied and pasted) that user X has already provided in an earlier question post.

Any suggestions, @MartinSleziak? I should probably search meta.se, too.
