Has this ever happened to you? How do you feel about it?
Someone asks a question, you spend time to type out a well thought answer and click submit, only to be directed to a page that says the question has been removed. I find this rather irritating. Do you?
It wasn't a bad question, I saw no reason for it to have been removed. I think the asker deleted the question before anyone had a chance to answer it.

You're going to delete this question right away, aren't you? LOL. We'll see! And yes, even if I get the answer posted and later find that the question was deleted by the user, it bums me out.

Yes this a very big problem because i can spend 3 hrs on Yahoo!Answers just to find the question i like to answer and the poof it has been removed this shelfish but nothing surprise's me any more. I just wish if they delete their question that it would be erased off mine all the way. Now i have answered some that where nasty but not with a such return answer in which that may have wanted it to be because i will not stoop they low. More two the fact they two let them know how sick it was with humor not meanness. So here we go again another problem issue that need's attention. Good Day ICHOOSETOTELLTHETRUTH

I'm of the same feeling.
Working to fully answer a question and then see it removed is more than just a little frustrating. I really don't understand it when it is the Asker doing the removing.

I don't sweat the small stuff. Usually. Right after I answered this, I posted a Question. I received 20+ answers within 5 minutes. 10 of them were very sweet. 10 others were so malicious that I removed the Question because I did not want to have to read how I am obnoxious, stupid, and 'not to ask strangers' on my BIRTHDAY(today). That's why I removed mine.

Yes, it irritates me a lot.
What also irritates me is spending time on a question, submitting it, and seeing that 5 minutes later it is deleted. Irritates me equally as much, maybe even more.

LOL I'm glad to say it that has never happened to me. That really sucks. Was it a question that should have been removed or just one of those strange one they seem to remove for no reason?

LOL. Totally. But don't we get two points anyway? (perhaps I get the two points right before they delete the question)

This has happened to me many times. It is very frustrating but I am not sure there is anything that anyone can do about it.

yeah I do and I on some of them I don't quite understand why they were removed...they were not offensive or anything.
