FWIW, I'm only using the term "nastygram" as a stock figure of speech. I didn't find the note I got from pg to be particularly nasty, although I did - and still do - disagree on this particular issue. shrug

What issue?

Admins changing the titles of submitted links. There have been a few cases where it happened and the "fixed" title was worse than the one provided by the submitter to a pretty ridiculous degree. I said something about that on one such story, my comment was the most upvoted comment by far, and sparked a huge thread on the subject. Hence the "nastygram" from pg.

No biggie, I understand that they don't want link titles full of gratuitous spin and editorializing, but sometimes the original title just isn't useful. But what can ya do... pg's site, pg's rules. :-)
