I have no compunction, any more, about posting over a previous post that is just a link with no commentary from the poster and no comments from the audience. Someone did not do the proper job in the first place. I would post right over it.

Faux pass?

I said "no", but I've felt that same "something".

I'd like to have an option that elevates the original post, while adding that context, that costs less than zapping it to the Moon.

One option, that may not apply in your case, is to cross-post the original into another territory. I've done that before.
