I feel like this when considering a node for front-paging, because this gives the post much wider audience and it seems to me like I'm trying to cheat. Nonetheless, the right part of my brain agrees with you in considering this a bit of a silly thing.

I wonder how many Monks check if the approver, or the front-pager, did also answer the node - that would be a really silly thing IMHO.

Flavio (perl -e 'print(scalar(reverse("\nti.xittelop\@oivalf")))')

Don't fool yourself.
