Well, here's the thing: some of these solo answers are way comprehensive, and it's quite tough to add a second one.
Our options are to either say, "well, that's the way it is" or strategically target questions with less than 3 answers and add an answer if we haven't already (or, I guess, a second answer if you've already answered it once).
Granted, this isn't StackOverflow where there are 4^7 different programmatic solutions to concatenating Strings and everyone wants their say, so we do have that to consider.
Follow-up questions for thought:
- Should this be brought to the forefront with the go-live evaluation committee?
- Or is it something they've already taken into consideration?
- Are the Area51 stats unrealistic for a site like this?
- Is this possibly an aspect of having a small user group and the situation will remedy itself with the recently obvious growth?
That being said, I'm actively following the "add an answer" tactic; here are four results of that recent effort:
