So today I asked this question.

http://superuser.com/questions/464472/why-do-all-my-usb-devices-malfunction-now-and-then

It was jumped on and closed within an hour.

Fine, OK, bad question, whatever.  I'll delete it.

**Sorry**, says superuser, **you can't delete it for two days.**

This seems rather passive-aggressive to me.  If I asked a bad question, and I don't care to reword it, what purpose is served by making me wait two days to delete it?
