Yup, the HN auto-filtering of titles often messes them up...

  'How' is one of the most important conjunctive adverbs in the English language, and HN filters it out? I'm just going to call that exactly as I see it - send the people writing these filtering rules back to middle school so they can learn basic English.

      Are there any good examples of where removing the leading "how" has improved the title? Or some list of title filtering rules with concrete examples of why they're implemented?

        We don't keep track of that (too many things to keep track of) and I can't remember anything*. Sorry! * https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20sandblast&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
