Still though, what if I wanted to, say, ask a short question to the community? (or what if I wanted to ask multiple short questions?)

One question I'm especially dying to ask: How do people respond when they learn that you're interested in being very rational? This question is especially important since many people think they're more rational than they really are. And also since they might accuse self-labeled rationals as "arrogant".

Another thing: I wish there was a way for lesswrong people to post links and discuss them (but aren't prominent enough to be in the discussion session). We might be able to post links to several news articles a day (it's a way to learn from each other, since we could get each other's perspective on a particular link).
