So, much less traffic than gwern.net gets in a month, on an arguably less controversial topic than the usual gwern.net fare.

Then it's very odd that he doesn't seem to care that people are mistaking him as being in support of terrorism.

He's using the IRC channel, #lesswrong, as his beta testers. #lesswrong is a different thing from LessWrong.

Oh dear.

I assumed from the context (the fact that this thing got out onto the site without him appearing to know / care that people would think it was pro terrorism) that he was referring to the website.

Does everyone here have Asperger's or something?

Note: I removed the part in my post that referred to using LW as beta testers.
