Whoever introduced the rule to automatically delete :: in titles on a hacker site should be made to rethink their decisions. Its a silly rule. It should go.

  It would be an interesting piece to learn why. Maybe it was for ::reasons::.

    I am sure the intern who wrote a rule for the Apple VoiceOver speech synthesizer to special case the number 18 being pronounced english while the synth voice is set to german imagined to have a good reason at the time as well. However, that desn't make ther decision less stupid. "Vierzehn Uhr", "Fünfzehn Uhr", "Sechzehn Uhr", "Siebzehn Uhr", "Eighteen Uhr".

  Most of those silly rules can be overriden after submission, there is a timeout to enforce the desired title instead by editing it.
