I'd like to hear what you think about deleting nodes which are 
worthy of deletion but contain replies.  Often the replies contain useful information and it doesn't make sense to destroy that info or the path to get to it.  
My current thought is transferring ownership of the node to the [NodeReaper] and placing a note saying this node has been harvested along with possibly a link where
you can see a preserved version of it if you're still curious.  This would also remove the node from any section pages or the frontpage.
&lt;P&gt;
Thoughts on the matter??? Additional ideas??? Let me know what you think below.
