Comment:

 I came to express a different opinion for this one.

 Personally, I delete all pingbacks from my own site because I do not want
 the internal references to drown out comments from external sources or
 visitors. Instead, I make use of "related posts" to list related contents.

 That said, I agree that it's a bit strange that the same site is not
 considered "trusted" or having pre-approved comments. Personally I would
 like a way to say "allow pingbacks/trackbacks, but not from my own site."
