In post #6 of [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=544786), Gary “Wombat” Robson notes a change to the thread title thus:  
Thread title changed from “Let him not be circumcised. - WHAT?!” to “Let him not be uncircumcised. - WHAT?!” at the OP’s request.  
I think this practice - giving both the old and the new title - is much the best way to make such a change: it makes prior posts that reacted to the original title fully comprehensible.

I request (as I have done in the past) that this become an SDMB standard.
