How annoying is it when you're trying to answer a question and it gets DELETED?

How annoying is it when you've spent ages typing out an answer, click "submit" and it says the question has been deleted??!

Grrrr >:(

    You hit a nerve. A lot of really interesting questions get deleted. While it's fair(sometimes questions you hate even existing get deleted too), it can be very frustrating. They should let your answer finish and be submitted as part of the deleted question, or something.

    I once went on a counter-rant and of course, being a ranting question, my answer didn't get thrown down on time and... yup... question deleted. Wrong.

    We need a version of yahoo answers that doesn't delete any question unless it's really obviously not a question and reported by many, many answerers as such.

    Very annoying but not as annoying as having made a slight error and that has lead to a wrong answer and can't change your answer because it says YA is unavailable, so your wrong answer is out there on the web and you can't correct your mistake.

    it's even more annoying for me because i'm on a prepaid cellphone and it takes FOREVER to type out even a short reply! i'm just glad none of my questions have been deleted (yet!) the other thing that ticks me off is when i ask a question and NOBODY answers!

    lol. I hate it more when I click on "show me another" and it says the question was deleted. Just delete it, don't make a page out of it.

    I hate when that happens! Once somebody asked a question about a face mask, and I gave them this link to this video on how to make your own. I got reported because somebody was going on a reporting spree.

    Especially when you took a lot of time with the answer. I hope that doesn't happen here.
