Why do so many automated archives only have the archive name in the page title of stories, not the story name? That sucks for bookmarking. I'm usually too lazy to rename my bookmarks, and most times it isn't a problem. Most commonly I bookmark stories I come across that looked interesting for later reading, and I can just go to the site again, even if the bookmark title is somewhat cryptic. But every once in a while it happens that I go back to a story later (sometimes several weeks later or even longer), only it vanished from the archive, and then I have no idea what the title or the author was, and can't even look whether the story might be archived elsewhere. Gah.

Well, I guess I'll never know now what that story in my HP to-read bookmark folder was, since I have only the archive name and the cryptic database generated URL, that's no hint either.
