I'm considering continuing this sequence on an external blog. There's been some positive responses to these posts but there are also a lot of people who plainly consider that the quality of the posts aren't up to scratch. Moving them to an external site would let people follow them if they wanted to but would stop me from bombarding LW with another five or six posts.

Opinions?

I think this warrants being on Less Wrong. One of Eliezer's best pieces was his basic explanation of Bayes Theorem, and there are plenty of people who're confused about Decision Theory. This post got 111 comments, and it's hard to see your doing worse than the recent SIAI-flamewar.
