I think removing the ability to approve it is silly

I really need to disagree with this. I have rarely approved my own nodes (my feeling on that is closely aligned with tye's statment on blind spots), I have never this felt this behaviour was silly or even inconvienent. In the few cases of that I did approve my own nodes I always had another monk (unfortunately it's usually Ovid) I trust (cough) read it before I approved.

My thinking is: I should be more concerned about the quality of my post (going into posterity) than my convienence of the moment



grep
Just me, the boy and these two monks, no questions asked.
