Why are questions being constantly cut off?

I don't know what it is lately, but it seems that about 60% of the questions being asked get cut off right in the middle.

I think it's happening sometime after the question is being asked, because there are maybe 1 or 2 answers for that question, then everyone else after that is yelling at the person for cutting off their question.

Is this a glitch with Yahoo Answers? Or are there that many people not finishing their question, or going back to delete half the post?

Anyone have any ideas?

    I just read the following in another post, that answers my question.

    Ok everyone, do not be fooled by questions like this one... Yahoo is recycling question to make it appear there is more activity at answers then actual activity. You will notice that there are questions that part of the details seem to be missing, you will notice that the poster of these questions are usually created the day it is posted and have 0 answers with 75 points available to them. You will also occasionally see updates addressing other people that do not appear in the list of answers to the question. Don't be fooled and don't waste your time answering these questions.

    I have not observed that lately. So they are not constantly cut off.
