Why did Andrew Cooke deleted all his answers from Quora
- mbailey 16y agoWhy did he deleted indeed.
- zn 16y agoMaybe he did died? Seriously though, I never heard of the guy.
- iterationx 16y agoYet he leaves the answer where he said he deleted all his answers.
- Jetlag 16y agoI thought it would be "he took his ball and went home," read his answer, and confirmed it.
- TomOfTTB 16y agoGetting past the individual situation here it does raise some interesting questions about what ownership people have over information they submit for the good of others. If Quora restored all his answers against his will I don't think I'd object to that to be honest. Put it in physical terms. If I volunteer to build homes in a third world country do I have the right to then tear those homes down if I become disenchanted with the organization I volunteered for? My answer to that question would be No and that's why I don't think he shouldn't have taken down the answers. If the info was used just to benefit Quora that might be different but the fact that they benefit the whole of the community changes things IMHO

- julianz 16y agoWhy did someone I've never heard of delete something from a site I've never visited? Who cares?
- syaz1 16y agoApparently you do care enough to post. Guy seems like the Jon Skeet of Quora.
