Um, because it's just as easy to edit the title yourself, as many have done?

Also, there's kudra's post naming convention to consider.

Finally, some folks shorten the long titles in their replies or change the title completely (I've done both on occasion).

It's not a bad idea, per se, but it might limit more personal or creative styles of node naming.

Not everything needs to be automated, y'know. Some personal thought and effort is generally encouraged. :-)

Supplying a different default title would not limit anyone's personal style of node naming. The default simply appears in an input field in the reply form, and a monk would still be free to edit it, whatever the default happened to be. Personally, I like the Re: Re: Re:... titles, because it makes it obvious when looking at Newest Nodes how far down in a thread a given node is.	[reply]

Not everything needs to be automated. Some personal thought and telnetting to port 80 is encouraged. -- Abigail	[reply]
