The submitter wasn't interviewed by Fog Creek, but the author of the post was. When reproducing their headline the submitter quoted "I" because they didn't do the thing the title said.
That's a weird convention. Typically I assume that submitter is not the author. If disambiguation is necessary then quoting the entire sentence is clearer.
It's not a convention at all. It's just unnecessarily confusing (and irritating). Hopefully the mods change the title.
Shouldn't the whole headline be quoted then? This makes it sound very weird, almost like Fog Creek claimed they interviewed him, but actually interviewed someone else.
Yes, I should have done that.
But right now I can't edit the title anymore (?). So if a mod reads this please go ahead and change it.
I feel this is a problem with not letting submitters choose descriptive titles. "Peteris Krumins interviewed by Fog Creek" would be more informative...
