Wow, thank you for the nice words.

I feel a predictable desire to reciprocate, but cataloging your output is starting to look like a Herculean task :)

Also, I can think of at least five of those posts that I no longer endorse and think are embarrassingly wrong, but I think it's more interesting if I don't say which ones.

But less useful..., please do say which ones; at least an edit at the bottom.

Yes, and also be specific about what you don't endorse and why.

Don't. I already keep this exact same list for my own posts here.

Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress. Or so it tells me.

This really seems like a feature request in disguise.

Well, in theory you could use http://lesswrong.com/user/Yvain/submitted/ but that shows a lot of context and doesn't sort by anything except date. It also mixes Discussion, Meetup, and Articles.

This really seems like it's answering its own request.

This was manual work, and trivially implemented by extending existing feature mentioned by gwern http://lesswrong.com/lw/6ga/index_of_yvains_excellent_articles/4fxa

The Apologist and the Revolutionary is one of my favorite things I have ever read.
