On: Data mining Reddit posts reveals how to ask for a favor and get it

[wingerlang]

Off topic now, but is the title confusing? The word "Dating", I can't make sense of why it is there and/or what it means.

[dewey → wingerlang]

Typo, should be "Data Mining" not really that confusing in this context though.

[etfb → dewey]

Ha! I didn't even notice the error - read it as "Data Mining" two or three times.

[wingerlang → dewey]

Aha. In hindsight, that does seem logical.

[UVB-76 → wingerlang]

Please tell me this is a typo, and "dating" has not become an acceptable shortening of "data mining"

[psykovsky → UVB-76]

If that was the case the word "mining" would've been omitted, and it wasn't. The title reads "Dating Mining..."

[anoncow → UVB-76]

DATING as short for DATa minING? A lot of data miners would welcome the new terminology.

[Varcht → UVB-76]

I propose "data'n"...

[maxerickson → Varcht]

damning.

[stewbrew → dewey]

I'd rather expect it to be the work of auto-correction or spell checking.

[userbinator → wingerlang]

I read it as "Dating -- Mining Reddit Posts...", and expected something a little different but still related to data-mining.

[wingerlang → userbinator]

That was my initial reading too, hence the confusion.
