I realized as soon as I commented that the quote you opened with was too simplistic, that there was more than one possible explanation for "akrasia". I expanded it into a post on my blog, here - http://williambswift.blogspot.com/2009/08/akrasia-as-revealed-preference.html . (I tried posting things on Less Wrong twice, neither time did I get any comments or votes, so I don't even know if I did it right, so that anyone else could even see them. )
EDIT: I still don't believe in akrasia as lack of willpower or weakness of will, just that there are more confounding preferences than just signaling preferences.
Most likely you posted to "Drafts for billswift" rather than "Less Wrong". It's right next to the "Submit" button in the editor.
It doesn't look to me like you've submitted anything so I'm going with "you did it wrong". I recall people mentioning that it's apparently a somewhat nonintuitive process and it's easy to make it look like you submitted something when only you can see it, so you're in good company.
