I wonder if this story would have seen daylight with the headline "Kickstarting your marketing". The headline is an editorial decision that you, the HN submitter, get to make, and I disagree that it is always tacky -- although I won't argue this particular case. Novum may not have respected the author's link title, but he did help popularize his content.

Pardon?
Anyway, it occurs to me that there are also other ways of respecting the author's link, like using the author's original short url (if any).
