Why can I not see Answers after receiving emails from The Mathworks

I posted a question four days ago;
"How to model factory workers needed to operate N Servers"
and received yesterday three emails that an answer had been posted. An example is
* Lucas answered your question “How to model factory workers needed to operate N Servers” at MATLAB Answers. You can see the answer at http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/130019-how-to-model-factory-workers-needed-to-operate-n-servers#answer_137307. If this answers your question, please be sure to accept the answer! *
However when logged in I cannot see any of these responses nor see responses from some of the claimed answerers.
Could someone explain why I am receiving these emails yet cannot see an answer?
Thanks

"'Splain"? No. There isn't any answer there; the posters' links must be in error. Now, why that is, I don't know; only conjecture might be an answer was posted but then deleted by the responder?
There's been quite a spate of spam recently; perhaps there's another explanation.

What timing! As a case in point, igtewdas just spammed the thread post with an answer below. I will delete it momentarily.
Matt, I looked up flagged content and found 6 more spams from that cockroach - I zapped them. You can click on their name to see their posted comments, questions, and answers. Then you have to delete them one at a time, then notify files@mathworks.com to have the account deactivated or removed.
Yeah, I don't know what's going on. It's like an alien invasion...
BTW, to Paul -- I didn't attempt to answer the ? 'cuz it didn't seem to have sufficient detail to be able to do anything more than "add the added logic where it needs to be"
Thanks dpb. It was a high level question about methodology / architecture that I'm sure has been tackled a million times. In the end I figured my people were entities, not server blocks which seems to work.

lucas and others had a spam fest over the weekend that kept me busy. I deleted them almost as soon as they popped up. Here's the weekend roll call from the spammers hall of shame:

I've notified the Mathworks so hopefully their accounts have been disabled now.

Over a few days, I typically have a string about as long of accounts to send in for deletion. Sometimes I'm deleting spam questions and answers literally as fast as they are posted.
So it is no surprise that you were told about a response, yet there was nothing there, IF we are able to catch the spammers in time.
