Re^2: Correcting errors in titles when I reply

There, see? I just read your reply twice because it showed up under a different title in Newest Nodes. It's not the first time I've done that either. I find changing titles disruptive to following the original post.

On the other hand I'd hate to miss an important snippet of information using Super Search, just because the OP mis-spelled some key word.

Yes, I intentionally (mildly, I hope) violated my own advice as demonstration. Just correcting a misspelling in a title (when replying) isn't going to cause that confusion. The title of this reply is a more typical example of how I adjust titles to be more on-topic to my reply. For a more extreme shift in topic, a reply title like "Re^3: Irish space debris (correcting titles when I reply)" might make more sense (and the reply to that might best be just "Re^4: Irish space debris"). - tye	[reply]
