I insist that odds were correct and question was voided incorrectly.
I was left with the impression that the cited article is not been read carefully.
Landing would be postponned for Monday, if weather forecast was good in the primary landing site in Florida. This decision was taken in the last moments, well after question was created.
I think that some admins are eager far too easy to void other people's questions and don't think that this way they'll force users not to create questions at all.
I am feeling unwelcome in this category and thus stopping my participation and questions creation here.
I don't see science any more here. I see only misjudgment.

Orlon- Right at this point of time they are playing the whole site as (They) see it and not from reality of the creator there is know request for the article from whoever to vary the question, in effect we are not being encouage to make a question ,and the odds not correct is a old chestnut. looking at how and when and from where you set it.it should never have been voided, sometimes its like trying to extract teeth.

Orlin, I'm sorry you feel that way. The Category Editors need to balance an extraordinary amount of information and viewpoints to ensure that this site remains fair for all users. I can appreciate that not everyone is going to be happy with the outcomes.
