    I like your answer, however your answer to the question was another question.

    That is a violation of the guidelines.

    You are not supposed to answer a question with a question.

    (Edit) I see that the responder below me complained that his answer to that question was removed as well.

    The reason is that his response was not an answer to the question. That is also a violation of the guideliines. That is the reason that his response was removed.

    The response has to be an answer to the question that is asked. Unfortunately, I realize, that is not always the the response that one would like to make to the question.

    That wasn't a violation. That was because Yahoo is run by Libs.

    I asked Who Was the Worst President, got 62 answers mostly saying Democratic Presidents and then 20 hours later it was deleted.

    My answer to the same question was also deleted. My answer was .........Bush last ran in 2004. It's 2009. Get over it.

    Polls are only allowed in certain areas of the site and this isn't one of them. That is one of the reasons it was probably removed.

    answering as a question is a no no it can also been seen as "chat"
