 * The post preview pane is really sweet. I was annoyed though because when I went
   to delete a post it didn’t show up in the preview. I think there should be some
   way to preview deleted posts. Maybe it could show a blank page. Or maybe it could
   just show a big gapping whole in the middle of your theme. Or maybe it could 
   just just show a 35mm photograph of hell. Because hell is the epitome of nothingness.
   A screenshot of Doom 2 on nightmare would probably work as well.
 * Either way, I think there needs to be the deleted posts preview. I was disappointed
   that WordPress has gotten so far, with thousands of blogs, but lacks this elementary
   feature. It would be a piece of cake to code it in. Please add it into WordPress
   2.2, devs! Thanks!

 * Um… basically. yeah.
 * Well not _nothing_. It would be a preview of a deleted post. Or atleast a depiction
   of a deleted post if we can’t have a preview of the actuall deleted post. Either
   way would work for me, I am not picky.
 * The only reason I mention this is because I want WordPress to be more competetive,
   and so am giving my suggestions.
