Rand not Ron, but I know reading is hard.


The way to submit an original article headline with an HN submission is to select, copy, and paste directly from the article. That cuts down a lot on spelling errors in article titles. (In empathy with other people, I recall a time when my select, copy, and paste missed the first letter of the headline, and I didn't catch that during the time it was possible to edit the submission. That made the title look really stupid, and a comment called that out.)


Thank you, I came here just to point this out.


With all the complaints about the mis-spelling, there are two things I'd like to mention:

a) You can edit the title up to 2 hours after submission. It's not too late - you can do it anytime in the next 80 minutes.

b) Mistakes like that don't happen if you use the submission bookmarklet: http://ycombinator.com/bookmarklet.html


There is no misspelling on the latest submission of this story (thanks), and I'd be glad to discuss the actual substance of the story over there.

Someone should change the title to Rand Paul.


It's a shame I think this got flagged because of the misname. A lot of users have Ron Paul scripts that auto flag those stories.
