Did you even read the post? This has nothing to do with folks not answering my question. They didn't have a chance to answer it. Another reason Quora will fail

  I did read the post, and I will admit that until I just reread it and the comments, I did not realize that your question was not accessible anymore, but was a redirect to another one. I assumed that your original question was still accessible, and that someone had linked to another thread with the same question. I still stand by my thoughts that you're jumping to a conclusion about it failing because of this downfall. This is like saying an IRC channel will fail because new users will enter, ask a question and be brushed off with a brusque admonition to go read the FAQ. If that keeps any new people from joining the discussion then it will fail. However, if the community of the IRC channel (or Quora), continue to grow on other merits (like having experts available to answer questions), then it can still grow even if it's not perfect. In this case, Quora lost a user (you) because of this policy, but it will retain others. I don't think that many people will find this a complete deal breaker.
