I was kinda hoping someone would mention that interpretation of my motives. Yes, part of this certainly is that on a level I'd like to find a justification for playing MMOs a lot.

You recommend me to focus more on e.g. the poker stuff, and I am actually doing that. Sooner or later I'll probably post about a suggestion for a Less Wrong Poker Group, but before I do, I want to develop my framework for introducing new people to poker a bit, and work on some other stuff having to do with poker.

Despite all this, I do maintain that there is a valid problem which this posting of mine addressed directly, even though it's one of the less important problems around these parts. I don't feel that I spent too much effort on this article (on the contrary, going ahead with my first draft might have been a mistake), or limited other people's ability to take the most productive approaches.
