I've noted the second-person "you" is commonly used on DU to reference the author of a piece when the replier is replying to an OP which was composed mostly of excerpt, except in the notable cases of religious and corporate dissent, otherwise known as flame wars, though those replies drill down into subthreads.

As far as I know DU policy, the convention of LBN is that the title must match that of the article. This is General discussion (GD). Your mention of such a custom is the first I've read that LBN's titling guideline also applies to GD.
