    This question might end up being deleted because you placed it in the wrong category as what you have posted has nothing to do with religion or spirituality and undoubtedly, someone will report it as report monkeys are thicker than fleas on a Georgia hounddog in June in the R&S section. I'll check back later to see how soon it disappears. namaste ADD: You made it through the night...wow! Perhaps the "report monkeys" have tired of harassing you? Pity their next victim... namaste

    Because Yahoo isn't without it's quirks.

    I've had this happen to me too on some questions. A few times when I've clicked the the question again, it showed up - go figure!

    Sometimes, I think the question may have been deleted because it violated the Yahoo guidelines and terms of useage because of language or subject matter..

  • I've been having that a lot today also.

    The funny thing is, I've been trying to reply to this question for the last 5 minutes and all I was getting is Y/A is taking a breather.

    Yahoo! Glitch Gremlins are running wild today! I got the delete message on THIS question!

    H'mmmm....this just happened to me as well, when I went to post an answer to a question (Sunday, 1 pm, EST). Maybe it's Microsoft playing games to spook Yahoo into capitulating to being swallowed up by the Evil Empire. :)

    I've been getting that, it's annoying, I just click the back button and re submit, and miraculously the question is undeleted.

    I think it's cos they are doing work on the site.

    It's happened to me too. I think Yahoo is still performing the maintenance and upgrades that have been causing Answers to act crazy all week.

    I got that message with this question, did a refresh page and it came back

    Yahoo are often making upgrades to their systems which can cause these glitches.

    Got told it had been deleted whilst getting e-mails as people answered it...
