I hate that it's really a glitch and they treat us like we're idiots. It's not a breather, it's either the question has been deleted, removed or there are technical difficulties. They make it seem as if the site is shutting down momentarily for maintenance. That's a load of horse manure.

STAR for you before they breathe on this one too.

yeah its irritating just stops everything your doing

I do and it's so silly and random. It might be taking a breather over 1 question for ages while you can simply go on answering other questions at the same time!?!?!?

Don't even get me started about yahoo answers. They have many problems, but yeah the worse has got to be those darn coffee breaks. My questions and answers always get erased because of them... I get pissed and just cry to death. I think about going to answerbag but am not that desperate at this time

I, too, definitely hate it when that happens.

I mean they do it everyday..and you think yahoo service is going to different or something...but it never changes so whats the point?

It can't help it because it has asthma...poor thing

it doesn't take a breather.

It is a default message that is sent to you if a question is deleted or reported.

I really wish they would differentiate between that and actually having a breather for maintenance.

"this person has deleted their question because they found out how stupid it was to ask"

"we are updating severs"

"somebody has hacked us, please wait a moment"

"the question has been removed do to insolence"

but noo
