| Feb 24, 2014 at 9:22 | comment | added | doppelgreener | @Phil AlexP is also pointing out, in his example at the end, another situation: if you're not interested in repeating another answer and have a substantial amount of information to add, you can summarise the answer and link to another answer explaining it better. I think that's what SSD is responding to. | |
| Feb 24, 2014 at 9:05 | comment | added | Wibbs | what we're saying is that if yours is effectively an addendum or addition to an existing answer, you should edit that answer rather than creating your own. If the original answerer doesn't like the edit they can always roll it back (and preferably leave a comment explaining why they have done so) | |
| Feb 24, 2014 at 2:08 | comment | added | Sean Duggan | Eyeh, I have a bit of an issue with including other peoples' answers, perhaps because I started on the regular Stack Exchange where I regularly saw people get downvoted for including bits of other people's answers because the perception was that you were trying to horn in on them. | |

I believe this is largely for two reasons - either they want the rep for up votes on their own answer, or they don't realise that it is an option and OK to do. | |
