Jen: While doing the chapter reviews, esp. GOF which is huge, I do 
run across posts coded to a chapter plus character codes (or other 
sections) which I've rejected. For one thing, I get to see the other 
posts in the thread and other threads later on, so I know it's said 
better somewhere else. For another thing, since many of the reviews 
are hanging, in my mind the post may not be seen by anyone else 
prior to the launch and therefore it seems better to deal with it 
now. 

Maybe I've overstepped my bounds here. The bottom line is we won't 
be able to code enough posts AND finish the review if we want to 
launch prior to HBP. We just don't have enough people coding right 
now. I wanted to finish the GOF review to complete the chapter 
sections, but from now on out my priority will be coding. 

In theory I agree completelyu with Carolyn, that in reviewing posts 
we shouldn't presume to know more than another coder would know 
about his/her section and make unilateral decisions. But in 
principle when I run across a post where the person doing the review 
is tied up in RL and can't get back or has disappeared, and I know I 
may be the last person to deal with that post before we open up to 
the public, well....I figured a unilateral decision is better than 
no decision.
