Off topic now, but is the title confusing? The word "Dating", I can't make sense of why it is there and/or what it means.

Typo, should be "Data Mining" not really that confusing in this context though.

Ha! I didn't even notice the error - read it as "Data Mining" two or three times.

Aha. In hindsight, that does seem logical.

Please tell me this is a typo, and "dating" has not become an acceptable shortening of "data mining"

If that was the case the word "mining" would've been omitted, and it wasn't. The title reads "Dating Mining..."

DATING as short for DATa minING? A lot of data miners would welcome the new terminology.

I'd rather expect it to be the work of auto-correction or spell checking.

I read it as "Dating -- Mining Reddit Posts...", and expected something a little different but still related to data-mining.

That was my initial reading too, hence the confusion.
