Personally, I _do_ editorialize by posting a “summary” of what a post discusses, if there’s no real title. I try not to make it pass as my own opinion; sometimes it happened that mods reverted it to the original, less relevant title.

The trick is to write the summary from the point of view of the original author, preferably by lifting a quote from the text.
