I don't want to sound rude, but what is the point of this rerun? Looking at the reposted articles from the last month, most have fewer than 10 comments each.

I like the reruns; it gives me a chance to re-read the Sequence in a structured way, without doing a full formal Archive Binge. I suggest that comments are not the metric to go by; presumably it is less interesting to make comments that Eliezer definitely will not respond to.

I'd love to see a discussion space on Sequence posts that's closed to high-status Less Wrong folk, it might be really interesting.

I doubt you'd actually get much. A lot of what's in the original sequences was novel, and somewhat controversial at the time. Now, most of the content is essentially taken for granted.
