Now that would be a great extension of the LW community--a specific forum for people who want to make rationalist life decisions like that, to develop a more personal interaction and decrease subjective social costs.

It could be a more general advice-giving forum. Come and describe your problem, and we'll present solutions.

That might also be a useful way to track the performance of rationalist methods in the real world.
