in thread Proposal: Truncating trailing '(update)' from node-titles in replies

it has become a tradition to expect from posters to mark important updates in their titles.*

I don't believe that's true. A tradition for you personally, maybe. Anyway, my whole point was, traditions, conventions, kludges - they're unreliable. You're asking for something which assumes, or imposes, a reliability/consistency which simply isn't there, and won't be without a significant change to our architecture.

    I seem to recall a node explaining why this should not be done. Not a rule, more of a guideline.

      I'd like to see that, if possible.

        So my gut feeling is that tye either wrote the node, or provided the link to the node, this was probably in the chatter box. I'll do some digging later.

    Indeed does the help...

    How do I change/delete my post?

    ...not mention the title.

    I picked that practice from earlier monks and later monks copied me. I call that a "tradition".
