@quack quixote Ok, thanks for letting me know. Is there a page that discusses etiquette for that sort of thing? Jun 17, 2010 at 16:55

yes; it'll be on meta.stackoverflow.com somewhere. Meta is the place to discuss usage of Super User, Stack Overflow and Server Fault. start with the main FAQ post and search around; if you can't find something, post a new question there and the Meta community will answer and/or direct you to an earlier post.

@quack quixote Ok, thanks. I've actually looked around quite a bit there, but haven't found a FAQ that covers the stuff like this that I don't know that I don't know (i.e. it never occurred to me to ask "if the question I'm answering is a duplicate, should I post my answer in the comments instead of the answer field?"). I've seen it done both ways on all the sites. Anyway, now I know, so thanks again. Jun 17, 2010 at 18:00

in this case, the first sentence of your post is actually an answer to the question, so it's fine as an answer post. it's the rest that should be posted as a comment. (there are lots of cases where a question is migrated here from SO/SF, and half the answers include "this belongs on SU" or similar... yuck.) don't sweat it, this is just part of learning to use the site.
