in thread Exiting eval via next: is that so bad?

In my mind, this wasn't a new question, it was a continuation of a discussion I'd found. Isn't the idea of searching first to avoid starting new questions when reasonably possible?

Anyway, thanks for your suggestion of the "no warnings" pragma.

    No, the idea is to find answers to your own questions :)

    If the old thread doesn't answer your question, you create a new one, and say:

    I got this question ... saw this old related thread ( [id://104789] ), but it doesn't answer my question exactly

     

    In my mind, this wasn't a new question, it was a continuation of a discussion I'd found.

    This is common , but consider the dates.

    Hofmator, whom you asked a question, hasn't visited perlmonks in 5 years.

    The discussion you continued is 10+ years old.

    Sure any one of the perlmonks could notice your node and reply, but only Hofmator is guaranteed to notice, if he returns and has /msg me when a reply arrives turned on:) and as you've noticed, it isn't the same as asking all the perlmonks for help, all you got was me :)

    necromancy tends to fly under the radar , I try to hunt for these things :)
