Yes, a thousand times!
A title exists in a context. The context of the original medium is completely different than a list of articles on HN. For instance, people who subscribe to an author's blog typically know the author's voice and typical subject matter, whereas people who see a title in a long list of possibly interesting content pieces do not have that context, so the original title does not communicate to those what the author was intending to communicate.
There must be a better solution than blindly reverting every title.
- triplesec 13y agoFor some reason it seems to be a simple posting rule in HN and mods like to do this. Yet it's not always adhered to. Confusing!
