This is the first time I've seen you change a Show HN title. For my Show HNs I spend a lot of time thinking and coming up with a title that I can stand behind. I may be extreme but if I were the poster of whose Show HN you changed the title I would rather have the post removed.

We change Show HN titles all the time, just like other titles. In this case the submitter emailed us and was fine with it.
Actually I copied the original title incorrectly above. The original title was "Show HN: Stretch – Uber for limousines (but it's free)", which provoked objections in the thread. When a title provokes objections like that, it can easily take over the discussion. That's one reason we change them.
