Given the number of times that I've done that, I'm tempted to suggest to the SE people that they register 'stackexchance' as an alias.

Thanks for the check.

with your spelling exchance for exchange, the first link doesn't work...

Thirded! (or fourthed?)

Of course, it's a great idea. There's no reason the closed pages shouldn't be useful.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

This feels as though it should be okay, but I thought I'd mention it here in case there were any objections that I hadn't thought of. The question http://mathoverflow.net/questions/61227/how-to-write-a-multiple-choice-test-book-with-latex was closed with comments saying that it would fit better on http://tex.stackexchange.com. I saw that (presumably) the questioner took that advice and the question was asked there. So I added a link to the question on TeX-SX to the top of the question on MO, so that anyone who sees the question here will know where to go to on TeX-SX.

Is this acceptable behaviour? I'd only do it if the question was reposted, and probably only if it was closed here. If we were part of the SE2.0 network, this would have been migrated and there would have been a trail to follow to take you to the final resting place of the question, so I'm simply trying to do by hand what would have been done automatically.
