I have posted an answer to this question:

Assign a workflow task to the user who triggered the workflow rule

The original asker has now updated the question with more information, which will significantly change my answer.

I'm torn as to whether I should edit the answer I have already posted, which is (mostly) still valid, but I could change significantly, or whether I should just post a new answer which is significantly different from my original answer.

I'm leaning toward removing irrelevant information from my first answer and posting a brand new one.

As much as I hate OP doing that - editing the question and changing it's nature 180 degree, instead of opening a new/updated question (in sake of keeping history in tact), If your "old" answer still answers the "new/updated" question, I don't see a problem making a 2nd/new answer.

If it does not meet the new question, feel free to delete/edit it.

    By stating "...I hate OP doing that..." do you mean editing an existing question, or do you mean creating a second answer?

Since it's your own answer, I'd say edit away, or delete your old answer and post a new one.

When it comes to editing other people's answers, I try to be as conservative as possible and only correct spelling/grammar/formatting.
