- Bucephalus355 8y agoI get where you’re coming from, but I think that title was part of the joke. It was such almost like an inside-joke reference to clickbaity Buzzfeed articles.
- jedberg 8y agoBut the HN rules clearly state that the title must match the one on the article.
- wanderingjew 8y agoBut it's clickbait, and that's against HN guidelines. I wasn't a sysadmin in the 90s, and I remember this stuff. Are we _really_ supposed to believe that _only_ 90s sysadmins remember the items on this listicle? That makes it an inaccurate headline, and clickbait. Titles are frequently changed here by the admins, and I don't see why this one wouldn't be changed. It doesn't matter if this is intended to emulate a Buzzfeed-style headline; that's not clever, and makes the submission inaccurate.
- jedberg 8y ago> that's not clever, and makes the submission inaccurate. I found it to be clever and funny. Which one of us is right?
