back to the originator and ask if it was truly still desired that it
be posted

But I'm not proposing such a solution as I suspect it raises more
problems than it solves.

I'd much rather have unauthorized posts expire after a week or so,
perhaps with a reminder a couple of days before they do.

That's the way I'm leaning twards right now - not saying that it'll be
implemented anytime soon, of course :)
