What's cultish about wanting to set up a Q&A (something that Slashdot, Digg, etc have been doing for a long time)?

That was covered by the "idea of interviews isn't [cultish] at all", while tongue-in-cheek part obviously didn't register.

My mistake was probably to carry assumptions I have about other online communities to Less Wrong, where the rules are different. I guess next time I'll just write:

"Anyone interested in doing a Q&A? If so, I suggest we find someone to interview and then rank questions by voting."
