Well, it's an aspirational headline. I'm working on making it come true, and I appreciate whatever suggestions HN readers have for helping me reach that goal.
Would it be more accurate to say "How HN can help increase the odds of saving a guy from life in prison"? Yes, it certainly would be.
But I also think that it would decrease the odds of people paying enough attention to help me get Ray Jennings out of prison. I feel comfortable skirting the rules about headlines if that's what it takes to help reunite Ray with his kids. Because at this very moment, while you and I are free to go about our lives and pursue our interests, he is locked inside a cage like an animal.
I'm sorry if my comment comes across as standoffish. It wasn't the tone I was going for. Your point is valid, and it's one that occurred to me. I just feel like this is the one thread where there are much bigger things at stake.
