Please note that I was originally going to post a ranty shout about the Mods altering submitted article titles and then, upon reflection, I thought it best to ping Dan G an email (hn@ycombinator.com) directly (since that is absolutely usually the best way to resolve anything to do with anything, especially questions/rants that boil down to ‘Whah, Why did the HN mods do … xyz’)

/inserts self-deprecating humor alert

However. Upon further reflection of my reflectioning - I’ve decided to post the following in the hopes it will bring a smile to someone today rather than add an extra email to Dan's overflowing inbox :)

I see that the submission pedants have been at work modifying the submitted article title which was originally to do with the number of undiscovered species.

I totally get the "Don't Editorialise" rule but when the entire article title is too long ("Number of Earth’s tree species estimated to be 14% higher than currently known, with some 9,200 species yet to be discovered") = Error of '44 Characters too long' and I decide to emphasize the 9,200 species yet to be discovered, finding that it has been altered (many hours after submission) to opt to highlight the first part then that is pedantry taken a step beyond the pale. Personal Opinion only of course.
