As a sidenote, the node in question probably won't get deleted because it has replies. It got me thinking that maybe a node should have to be approved before anyone can reply to it. On the other hand, those who want to post their few choice words to nodes that don't offer much would probably just approve it quickly so they could force their reply in. Back to the first hand, it would mean that a monk with the power of approval would have to accept the original post before anyone can pitch a reply in.

I dunno ;)
