| Nov 17, 2011 at 21:44 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | I have written some things down purely for my benefit, and made them available to others as a convenient form of service rather than with the expectation that it would be read (otherwise I might have to go to the trouble of writing for an audience rather than writing for myself).

| Nov 17, 2011 at 20:55 | comment | added | Johan Öinert | @Gerhard: "If you think it will be read and used by others, then..." Don't we all think (hope) so? Otherwise, what is the point of writing it? :) | |

| Nov 17, 2011 at 6:55 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | It has not happened to me, but I can well imagine it happening to me because of my penchant for double entendre; I believe it is rare in mathematics but not totally unknown for a junior mathematician to make a poor initial choice in title.

| Nov 17, 2011 at 6:16 | comment | added | Felipe Voloch | I have never had a referee or editor suggest a change of title for one of my papers and I have never, in turn, suggested a title change to a paper I've handled as referee or editor, nor have I ever heard of such a thing. Has this ever happened to you? | |
