If either of us has a "preconceived notion," it's you. I didn't edit anything. I copied your gem in total from the Browse page. When I clicked the link to read the story, it had already been pulled. So, if your article contained a humor tag, it was past the character limit to appear on the Browse page.
Next time, you might try posting the product of your wit in the General Interest forum, with something like "(Humor)" in the title. That way, it won't be quite so misleading.
