@quid Hello, @quid !
 
Hello @amWhy
 
@quid Guess what?
 
What @amWhy?
 
@quid do you know what?
 
You'll tell me.
 
3:56 PM
Will I, @quid ? Of course I'll spare you from further pestering!
 
That is what I hope. (That you tell me.)
 
The remaining conversation is trivial and left as an exercise for the reader.
 
@DanielFischer ?
@SimplyBeautifulArt ;D
 
@DanielFischer Close, but 61 is prime, and $68= 2^2\cdot 17$. :'(
Ever watch "61*"?
I think I'll drop 61 from here. The urban dictionary just made me nauseated.
I'll have to ping @quid six more times to move up to the prime number $67$.

I wrote a comment to the editor (of the edit prior to my edit) about trying to refrain from adding vertical height to titles through "\dfrac", a bunch of \left(, and \right) ... Is it time to bring this issue up again in meta? Most of the edits I'm doing now are to make the already enlarged titles on question posts, less enlarged by use of such formatting in titles.
 
6:29 PM
@amWhy You misread Blue's edit (easy to do, the diff isn't too readable). Actually Blue removed the \dfrac from the title, which goes in the right direction. (But left the \left and \right. You did well to also remove those.) Since the reason for not using \dfrac etc. in titles still applies, I think there's no point in bringing it up again on meta. Except maybe indirectly via a bump (a new answer, a substantial edit).
 
^^ @DanielFischer, @MartinSleziak, @quid: Also, can earlier well written meta posts on the topic above, be booted to the front page? Or in general, are highly visited or "canonical" meta posts occasionally be brought, periodically, to the front page.
 
@amWhy we could make it a "faq" (if it isn't)
 
@amWhy Only questions with answers, but no positively scored answer, are bumped by user -1.
 
@DanielFischer My main concern is that there is a resurgence of editors formatting titles as they would formulas in the text of the question, and many newbie suggesters are stretching their wings to give it a try, in titles, as well. Blue was one of many edits I've been making this past month.
Is there any way that canonical questions can reappear on "top meta posts"?

Q: Guidelines for good use of $\rm\LaTeX$ in question titles

Lord_FarinMotivation: Every once in a while, I find myself making edits like this one, where OP (likely due to inexperience in asking questions) has used display math mode ($$ delimiters) and/or the \displaystyle or \dfrac commands in ways discouraged by the community. This issue has been around for a wh...

@amWhy How bad is the resurgence?
 
Maybe after all these years of good services, it deserves to be promoted
 
@DanielFischer I think I notice it more prominently on question posts than I had before, because in general, titles on the posts themselves have increased in size. So, e.g., this past week has been bad, in that respect.
@quid Standing up for a standing ovation to the proposed faq!
 
@quid Seems like a good idea.
 
I promoted it. If there is something to add or modify it could be a good point in time, now that it was bumped. (I had a brief look, but I should be doing something else right now. )

@DanielFischer Yes, I see that; I've apologized sincerely.
The conversation no longer clutters the comment below the edited answer. Thanks, if you took care of that. For that matter, thanks to the $\color{blue}{\diamondsuit}$ who helped to clean up that mess.
 
@amWhy That's nice.
And now I'm going to bed. Good night.
 
@DanielFischer Sweet dreams; to help fall asleep you can count 67 sheep.
