I posted two duplicates that I agree were flagged correctly but when I posted them I did not know they were duplicates. I would not do so on purpose.
-
no i even searched to make sure no one had answered my key question. then i posted i think it was less than 24 hours it was marked duplicate i felt stupid.
-
have been flagged a couple of times, question had subtle differences that i posted knowingly
-
No, I go to great lengths to ask original questions. I don't ask a lot of questions because most of the ones I wanted to ask have already been asked before.
-
Not knowingly, no. If I ask a question, I do check for duplicates. Sometimes your question does end up being a duplicate even if your search turns up nothing. Someone will usually flag it and that's ok :)
-
nope not intentionally!
-
No.I forget sometimes,what's been asked already.:(*+++++*;)**
-
No. I have a thing about duplicates. If a question actually is a duplicate fine, but if it's not the answers wind up being nonsensical and that irks me.
-
Yes, sometimes I will put a new spin on questions that were asked in '06 and '07, aside from that I try not to ask duplicates
-
Only last night, and that was jokes...but before then, i made sure my questions were asked differently, and was surprised when the got rejected.
-
i have but i didnt kno o.o so yes and no..
-
Certainly not intentionally.
-
No! I would never do that intentionally. It really pisses me OFF when I get a Q rejected as a dupe. I do all the homework I possibly can to avoid wasting everyone's time. Unfortunately, the "duplicate" search here on AB doesn't work worth a damn. That isn't my problem. +5

Not to me but surely to the person watching over this site.
-
I posted some that I might have thought were duplicates, but didn't find them through that search thing. Maybe they were just asked differently so I couldn't find them.
-
Never knowingly.
-
Yes, I just did not know about it.
-
*sigh*...yes
-
No.
