(no title)

I suspect there was a human who posted a link to the OP's post here on HN. It is -that- human who was being asked to provide context since they should have know that by posting a link to HN, they are posting a link to a community that may be different from the OP's original audience.

i.e.- this was not a rerquest or taner saner to provide context, but a request for @ericdiao to provide context.

Except HN explicitly discourages this: You can intentionally submit either a text post or a link, but not both. For links, you could theoretically edit the title, but there too, the guidelines state that you should just use the original title from the article if possible.

Yes, it's a shame that HN doesn't include a short 1- or 2-sentence summary of each article (on the front page).
