A user deleted his question after 1 close vote: https://askubuntu.com/questions/940541/sh-file-not-executing-on-startup-via-crontab

Only 10k users can see this main-board question I think. Hence the title for this question on meta.

I was given the option to "un-delete" this question and my quick-clicking-happy-finger chose to do so because I thought I had a good answer to post... ie cron @reboot works in `/etc/cron.d` directory scripts and not through `crontab -e` modifications.

My question is **What is the purpose of allowing undelete votes on a question the OP deleted?**. The question has no answers and the OP should be allowed to delete the question. Un-deleting an OP deleted question seems ridiculous on the surface. I must be missing something here....
