I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.
Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.
I sort of understand where you are coming from. You're certainly right that this is not the easiest thing to understand. Thanks very much though for taking the time to type that up and explain it as clear as possible.

When you're on any page within a topic, the title at the top of the page shows the subject of the post at the top of the page. Stay with me here. Just say someone starts a topic with the subject "Title A," the replies to the post will also have the subjet "Title A". Now if the title is changed to "Title B," the pre-edit replies will still have "Title A" whereas the new replies will have the subject "Title B". It's difficult to explain but easy to understand when you see it happening. If you look at a long topic that's had several title pages, you can see the title change by looking at different pages of the topic.
A little while ago, during the time that the topic linked to in OP was created, when you replied to a topic, you could change the subject of your post. So if you replied to a topic, changed the subject to "lol, banana" and your post was at the very top of page 2 in the topic, the topic title on page 2 would show as "lol, banana".
That was a pain to write, probably a pain to read too.
