vote down this comment if you disapprove of this method of using subcomments to get more targeted upvotes and downvotes. I was about to request that noone upvote this comment, but on second thought, that's silly. Upvote if you want. I could make separate comments if I wanted to track upvotes and downvotes separately, but past experience has shown that there aren't likely to be enough total votes for that to be worthwhile.
Some research says that lurkers make up over 90% of online groups. I suspect that Less Wrong has an even higher percentage of lurkers than other online communities.
Please post a comment in this thread saying "Hi." You can say more if you want, but just posting "Hi" is good for a guaranteed free point of karma.
