Here is one case where the original title would be significantly better than the title given:

    Helping a stranger (and why you
    should understand NP-complete)

View on HN

I ummed and ahhed over it. Really it's two posts, one about helping someone out and another about NP-complete problems in the wild. Thought I'd go with the Hacker News angle for Hacker News (hopefully to encourage / keep up the helping).

Well, for me the Hacker News angle would have been the part about NP-complete problems ;-).

Never fear! The mods will change it back as soon as they catch on.
