It is possible that an admin changed the title. Folks probably downvoted you because they deemed your tone unwelcome here.

- midway 8y ago> It is possible that an admin changed the title Still strange. Why should an admin change the submission of a random user if it doesn't breach any of HN's rules? Maybe because it's not a random submission by a random user? Guess I must be wrong but would love to hear what that admin who did the change has to say.
- vertex-four 8y agoAdmins change the title and even the link of a great many posts on HN, breaking rules or not, to “clarify” the topic.
- imhoguy 8y ago> If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
