I was impressed that HN's automatic submission editor stripped the Q-word out of the headline of this post. I had only previously seen it make leading omissions (“Why…”, “How I…”, “The Story of…”)

I've noticed a lot of quiet but delightful things like that on HN. Try to end a comment with the word s i g h and the form won't go through, for example.
