OK, I don't have anything more to say about it. Thanks for your input.

Nobody is "telling" you what to do. I merely pointed out that the graceful option would be to remove a duplicate answer. I have done it many times myself under the same circumstances out of respect for the first answerer. And no, the different references make no difference at all if the answer is correct and both references are valid.

I don't intend to be told be someone that I must take my answer down. There is different content and it may be useful for the asker. Note that I agreed with your answer immediately after the first message you sent. I would normally expect the asker to give the points to the first answerer but do not appreciate that you intervened to ask me to take it down.

Proz should have a mechanism in place that solves this issue by not allowing Duplicate answers as they do not help anyone. Yes, we do it to help others, but nobody likes wasting their own time for nothing either.

Let's not forget that our aim is to provide the asker with the *most helpful* answer. Even if duplicates turn up because one of the answerers is still preparing his post, in the end the asker has the right to choose the one she finds most helpful.
