- mhb 19y agoIndeed. I have been on the losing side of alternate-title later submissions more than a few times. However, I think I did search for "unintended" before posting this, and that wouldn't have found your post...
- asdflkj 19y agoI like your title better. I can already name a large number of things that a deaf woman and an endangered woodpecker have in common. I think people vote up long, uninformative titles like this one because they secretly dread the prospect of reading about "second order" anything, but not about woodpeckers or deaf people (or cats or people being hit in the groin with a football).
- Tichy 19y agoAh, and now I understand why there even can be multiple submissions: I guess because of the various random parameters some websites attach (session ids or whatever), the duplicate detection mechanism of news.yc doesn't work. Makes me wonder if there could be a way to assign a unique id to every website. I guess at least for news feeds it already exists, but not every submission has a news feed.
