<p>Is it acceptable for a single user to post more than one answer for the same question? Or should all answers be consolidated to a single post?</p>

<p>For example, in <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/226935/algorithms-for-computing-multivariate-empirical-distribution-function-ecdf">this question</a> I had posted an initial answer using one method. I then later posted a second answer pointing to an alternate approach. My thought was that both approaches may be of interest, but the two are really distinct answers.</p>

<p>Is there a protocol for this?</p>
