Why do people just delete their questions after a few days?

I'm sure everyone has experienced it. Someone posts a question, you try to give a sensible answer. Then, rather than judging the answers or even giving it over to votes, they just decide to delete it.

I know that it's just a minor irritation, but it is annoying. Do others find this and what do you think of it and the reasons that this is done.

    It could be as the first answerer said, or it could mean they didn't like the answers to their question.

    Embarrassment that they asked something silly? Super efficiency in keeping their profile tidy? Or perhaps they're just a bit flaky?
