<p>To be honest, I'm not really sure (hence the delay in this answer).</p>

<p>I would suggest:</p>

<ol>
<li>Discourage the opening of new questions.
<ul>
<li>If their are a large number of comments, well don't worry about it. The page only shows the top 5 anyway.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>If a new question is opened, then:
<ul>
<li>delete the old question.</li>
<li>don't flame the questioner - they're probably new here. A simple comment stating that we discourage opening new questions, when the old question should have just been reworded.</li>
</ul></li>
</ol>
