My posting was, with the title I used, intended to draw attention to the statement in the paragraph I utilized. I posted the original article link if anyone chooses to peruse it, but otherwise it suited my purpose.

I understand, but there are a couple drawbacks to doing that. I thought I was reading an article about Mandela, which is just a minor drawback. A bigger one is that when someone else goes to post this same article, they will search to see if it's already been posted, and it won't show up in their search, so they'll post it again. I do understand, and what you say makes sense. But I do like the rule that says "use the original title."

The reason we use exact title is to avoid duplicate posts of the same article. Before I post an article, I do a quick search to see if it was already posted. It's a rule that really does make sense. It would be fine to put up the real title and give a comment in parentheses after it.
