If FR didn’t let me put that original headline in due to the 100-character limit, then it couldn’t have let you do it, either.
No, it did not. So the standard procedure is to shorten it when posted.
I find no fault with your title. It is MUCH better than the original.
But I had no way of knowing it had been previously posted.
It is no big deal to me, I did it myself once and was called on the carpet for not following the procedure. Someone at that time told me they thought my title was better than the original.
I’m not being disrespectful, only scratching my head about updated titles on Conservative Tree House.
