More and more I'm believing that editor adjustments of titles are dissuading conversation and interest. I'm considering throwing together a simple system that scans new submissions, retrieves/retains their titles and their destinations' titles. I'd offer this up in a REST API so anyone wanting to integrate a GreaseMonkey script or do their own study would be able to do so.

My question: If I built it, would anyone else use it? Or am I just whining in my own echo chamber?
