 Why? What is the value for the user going to an old page and seeing their
 unapproved comments only on some sites?

 This introduces a pretty annoying inconsistency and seems pretty damaging
 for the user experience: some sites will "tell" the commenter that the
 admin still hasn't approved their comments from a month ago, other will
 not. Thinking that is wrong unless there is an explanation printed under
 all comment forms that explains how this works.
