How is this different than a book?

I'm not going to spend 5 hours hyperlinking dozens of references all over the place. Not a good use of my time.

Please meet me 1/50th of the way on this one and do some page scrolling while remembering two-digit numbers.

How did the Less Wrong community get like this, that it complains about scrolling down a page? No wonder the community is so non-productive!

You are going to need to take some of your own initiative to look this stuff up or learn the methods or apply the methods. Scrolling is just the beginning.

A feature like wp-footnotes would be a nice addition to LW reddit-software.

It would be; I use a similar JQuery plugin on gwern.net where I use footnotes very heavily, and the feedback so far has been positive.
