Title was edited to fir [sic!] (”Revere” was removed).

My only question is: Why do FReepers shorten titles by removing significant words, rather than by removing completely unessential words?

For example:

Revere crash suspect may have been impaired from a combination of beer, sleep medication, and CBD oil

Here, all of the keywords (for which one might perform an automatic search) have been preserved.

Regards,

I agree wholeheartedly. Proper title excerpting is essential.
