> I wouldn't be interested in readinh an article called "I how I almost saved the Internet"

The old title was "how I nearly almost saved the Internet starring afl-fuzz and dnsmasq"

That title gives enough detail to be interesting while still being a bit cheeky -- and the article itself is a bit cheeky. That cheekiness makes the article all the more fantastic, IMO.

The current title of "Finding a vulnerability in dnsmasq using afl-fuzz," while a factually accurate description, reads like a dry research paper.

Anyway, there are situations where changing the title is appropriate. I just don't think this was one of them.

Ok, you've made a strong enough case that we'll set the title back. It isn't that linkbaity, because "nearly almost" is clearly self-deprecating, and it won't hurt the front page to let the author's cheerfulness through.
