If it's very similar or identical, then no - upvote the relevant answer.

If you think you can write a similar yet better answer, by all means - go for it! The community will judge the two similar answers over time. Eventually (after a month+), it might be nice if the owner of the more unpopular answer deleted it, but that isn't necessary.

You can also edit another answer if you think that it just needs a little enhancement. For example:

  • Add an explanatory link
  • Reword an awkward statement
  • Fix spelling
