| Sep 22, 2011 at 13:59 | comment | added | Lance Roberts | @Marc, I think trying to get the subtle differences that some questions will have into the title will just give us a lot of contrived convuluted titles. It will probably also increase the title length, which I'm always trying to keep as short as possible. | |
