Why do you ask publicly, instead of messaging the monk who did the consideration ?

Could he undo his action?

My post was not to admonish the considerer--there have always been, and probably always will be, overzealous considerations. The point was to draw attention to the fact that they happen; to make people think a little more before they make them; to make people think a little more before they support them; and to wonder aloud if they shouldn't disappear automatically if the voting suggests they should.

None of which would be accomplished by contacting the considerer in private.
