- gnosis 14y agoMany HN submissions are of articles written by authors who don't have any editors. Those articles are self-published either on blogs, personal websites, or forums. Anyway, regardless of whether an author or editor is responsible for the title, way too many titles to articles with good content suck. Improving on those titles while staying faithful to the article's content should be encouraged, not discouraged or tampered with.
