Why was this voided?

I just figured out why this question was voided:

Unexpected/Early Fed Meeting Over Weekend

Fed Takes New Steps to Ease Crisis

That shouldn't matter to the question, it is still a valid question.

owl1 - You are correct! I think this question needs to be reviewed. It should be settled or, at the very least, the reason for voiding should be provided.

The following resolution review request sent to Hubdub 03/19/08 >>>

Resolution Error Please Review

Hubdub,

This question was voided without explanation and has had an unaddressed flag on it:

http://www.hubdub.com/e/Market/Will_Bernanke_cut_rates_Tuesday_18_March__4278

It appears this question should not have been voided. Settlement evidence can be found here:

Please rectify or explain. Thanks!

Hi guys,

I voided the question on the basis of a flag stating that it was the Fed and not Bernanke that cut rates. I was probably rash in this descision but unfortunately the system does not currently allow questions to be unvoided. At the time I felt that the following questions covered the subject

http://www.hubdub.com/e/Market/Will_the_Fed_Reserve_cut_the_interest_rates_by_further_50_basis_points_in_March_2008__2667/view
http://www.hubdub.com/e/Market/When_the_Fed_meets_on_March_18th_how_will_they_if_at_all_adjust_rates__4129/view

however on closer inspection this is a slightly different question, so I apologize for the mistake.

Regards,

Andrew
