I agree that mods changing submissions is a little like putting words in the original submitter's mouth, but if the practice is well known I don't think there's much harm in it.
Like I hinted at in the other thread, and as dang seems to confirm, it's an issue of purism vs pragmatism.

- mfisher87 12y agoI don't think the practice is well known. I've been on HN for a year or something, and have seen reference to the practice in comments a maximum of 5 times. And I think I tend to read pretty deeply.
- deft 12y agoSince Dang has taken over as the main moderator and been more public about it, he's announced doing it more times than that.
