"Robbie Robertson, Guitarist and Songwriter With the Band, Dies at 80"

Well, if we're going by the news guidelines then most obituaries mostly fall foul of the principle:

> "Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon"

It feels a bit tasteless to expand further on this, especially in this thread, so I typically just flag and move on.

You mean like this perhaps:

The HN software tries to "auto-correct" and so "The Band" becomes "the Band". Incorrect.

You can edit HN titles after submitting them, and it won't auto-correct when editing.

If you catch it quick, yes. But it's quite easy to get locked out of editing soon after submission.
