If I get lucky, there are a handful of people with a real depth of knowledge who can give a valuable overview and insight, but those are a long way from the typical SO question.</text></comment>

It&amp;#x27;s frustrating when your own questions are marked as duplicates because there&amp;#x27;s a similar question from five years ago.</text></comment>
