Are you upset or are you asking more of a rhetorical question? I'd hope the level of outrage is low enough that the effort to support multiple options isn't required and we can have consistency.

It's more rhetorical. I don't think there is any outrage as to which style of Re prefixes to adopt.

So I'd prefer .... Your current retitling style makes sense when viewed in a thread, but makes no sense (IMO) outside of the thread.

One or two monks has mentioned that to me, and no, it's not supposed to make sense outside of the thread. An editor even edited my node once to restore the Re: (I changed it back). All I can say is tough noogies (my note titles are my own). If you ask me, a better idea would be to either disallow editing of node titles on replies (notes) or track node depth independently (and perhaps represent [id://359839] as My notes title is my own₃ ).
