Ask HN admins: please stop editing submission titles

Re:Ask HN admins: please stop editing submission titles by 6thSigma on Wednesday January 30, 2013 @09:24PM (#5143030)

I think the submission system may auto-change some titles. For instance, I submitted an article awhile back with the title something like "5 Reasons Technology is changing in 2013" and it posted as something like "Some Reasons Technology is changing in 2013."

Not really what you're referring to, but I thought it was interesting.

It was almost certainly previously submitted if it changed immediately like that. (It's not listed in your submissions page)

It was the "Common Tech Myths That Cost You Money" article. I was incorrect that it changed from a number to "some;" but it did purge the number.

I stand corrected.
