Can you change the title to match the actual article? I belive that the Hacker News guidelines suggest to keep the submission title as close as possible to the new one. (esp. in cases like "exhaustively researched")

- scott_s 15y agoFrom the guidelines: You can make up a new title if you want, but if you put gratuitous editorial spin on it, the editors may rewrite it. I think that "exhaustively researched" counts as gratuitous editorial spin.
- dalton 15y agoI gave the submission a different title specifically to call out it was original detective work done over the course of several days by a technologist... a technologist who is "showing his work". The vase majority of press I read about net neutrality is done from a theoretical or policy perspective, and tends to rely on research done by 3rd parties. My aim was to distinguish that this particular post as not being yet another post of that variety. That being said, I am fine with the editors decision to change the title of my submission.
- pdubs 15y agoNot to mention that, though it's a nice simple technical evaluation based on packet header inspection, it's far from "exhaustive".
