I know we're all still trying to work through the rules of using the Approval Nodelet effectively, but two thoughts come to mind:

• If you're a Friar or above and you reply to a node, please make sure the original node has been okayed after you Submit your reply.

  I'm seeing a lot of nodes with replies that have yet to be approved. Some of these strike me as being interesting conversations that may not be reaching their full potential or exposure because they're not approved.

  It might be wise to check the approval status of a node, even if you don't plan to reply to it.

• Should we avoid front-paging nodes containing <PRE> tags?

Thoughts?
