Wait a minute... I don't see this submission on Ask HN (although I do see it under "new"). However, when I was looking for it, I happened to find https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19187925 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19187925. As a matter of fact, my submission DID begin with "Why I," and when it appeared, the "Why" didn't appear. Now I realize that I probably didn't make a typo; HN automatically modified my title. Does the fact that I'm not seeing this submission under "Ask HN" mean that I got somehow auto-flagged or blocked for trying to resubmit, or should I just wait?

Questions like this should be directed to the moderators at hn@ycombinator.com.

A. You probably aren't seeing it because it has no upvotes. B. I don't think you can submit the same url you deleted. You can edit titles for a while after you submit something. In the future, you should try editing to fix typos. C. You can email the mods about such issues: hn@ycombinator.com

  Thank you for telling me that I can edit titles. I either forgot or didn't realize (since I can't do that on Reddit), and I didn't realize that if I deleted the submission, I wouldn't be able to resubmit it.
