It is not approved as of 1300 GMT 30/11. It does have answers but has not been approved by anyone - check out the approval nodelet.

Reasons that nodes like this may get approved are:

  1. because they do have answers.
  2. to make the node appear in SOPW which stops (A)monks from posting the question over and over again bacause they do not see it appear in SOPW.
  3. just because aka it seemed like a good idea at the time to whoever ticked the box.

The odd off topic post does little to detract from the sites focus.

cheers
