What happens to replies when the thread originating post is deleted by the OP/Moderator/Administrator?

Continuing the discussion from Where've my answers gone to?:

Do the replies disappear? Is there any notice to the people who replied?

if an OP wishes to redact their question, after any constructive answers have been received, I think it would be better, for it to remain but be re-attributed to @anonymous
