Why do askers remove questions after I answer them???

I'll spend five minutes or more on a great answer and when I submit it, I get the message that the asker has removed the question. This irritates the heck out of me! Is it just me or do others feel this way as well?

    Take the time to do a great answer and it's all for naught. Just try to look at as honing your skills for some other person who will need a great answer.

    I hate that!! I put a great deal of thought in to the perfect answer... and the question has vanished. It sucks! :-(

    Yeah that does s*ck. I'm one of those one finger typers so sometimes it takes me awhile to get my answer in.

    I think we all agree that it's not right. Most of us had it happen at some time or another.
