Comment on News.YC, could it be made clearer that submission titles have been subject to change by editors?parent

I don't think it's such a big deal, and maybe I'm the only one, but I don't like it if people have every reason to believe I wrote something that I didn't write. For example, the title of my most recent submission now contains the term "reproductive output", and I hate that term because it somehow seems to associate people with factories. (This is not to say the term is incorrect, and anyway it's taken from the story header.) But such things are very subjective.

Oh, so YOU'RE the insensitive prick that thinks people are factories?

LOL, I think you're putting too much thought into it. As long as the titles are derived from the story and the headline fairly accurately, nobody is likely to judge you for a mis-applied opinion. Hell, nobody is likely to remember you for any given average story in the first place.
