That wasn't an "alteration"...it was a COMMENT ADDED by the poster and thus enclosed in [ ].

Now, if you had posted the article (instead of whining about it) and added [Misleading headline - story about uranium enrichment equipment], no one would have said a word to you and the Admin Mod.

"That wasn't an "alteration"...it was a COMMENT ADDED..."
LOL, adding a comment IS an alteration! (At least it is in the English language!)   ALTER - 1. To cause to be different; change; modify; transform. Since the FR title was clearly different from the original story title, it was, by definition, "altered".

You chose to jump into this discussion head first and attack without bothering to even enquire about the nature of the change being sought. You just jumped to an unwarranted conclusion. And your present confusion about the meaning of "altered" in no way mitigates either of those failures. Next time ask first and save us both the trouble.
