This title is missing the !. A shebang is #!, a # is a hash. The OP has both chars.

Isn't that something HN does automatically?

Yes, I submitted the original title.

That's kind of annoying. Is this some kind of code injection countermeasure?

I suspect it's just to prevent gratuitous exclamation points in submission titles. ("Best ever new app!" "You won't believe this!" etc.)

Heh, that sounds like something that should be a per-user option.
