 This is a very awkward aspect of WordPress that I'm just attempting to
 articulate for the first time:  In the Recent Comments dashboard widget,
 there is no way to view fully the pending comments.

 What it should link to:

 * View Comment
 * View Post
 * Approve Comment
 * Edit Comment
 * Spam Comment
 * Trash Comment

 What it does instead:

 * Visitor's site or e-mail address
 * Edit Related Post
 * View Related Post
 * Reply to Comment
 * Approve Comment
 * Edit Comment
 * Spam Comment
 * Trash Comment

 So there are several obvious points of confusion here.

 Why would I want to reply to a comment that is pending approval, still
 hidden, and not even fully displayed to me?

 Why can't I see the whole comment?  It only shows me an excerpt here, and
 in order to actually read the comment I have to click over to Comments on
 the admin menu and find what I'm looking for manually.

 Why does the most prominent link for the comment take me to the post
 editing screen?  When is this ever useful?

 Why is the post link displayed as a tiny little "#"?
