Did you mean: Why HN screw with titles? PS: Title as of this comment is “Why 56k the fastest dial up modem speed”

  The "is" is missing from the title (Why is 56k). I wish HN just autofilled the Title field after the URL field has changed during submission (but still allowed users to edit the title).

    Really it would look better if they removed the "the" too. Newspapers often leave out that kind of thing. (Not that newspapers are the best role models)

      Yep, "Pearl Harbor Bombed" for example. Or when Colbert mockingly summarized It was the best of times, as "Dickens: Times Best!" https://www.cc.com/video/coii6k/the-colbert-report-cable-news-gaffe-on-obamacare-supreme-court-ruling https://www.cc.com/video/coii6k/the-colbert-report-cable-new...
