Eliezer, I suspect you might find the answers to these questions less useful than you expect. The most useful things we've learned from you are probably going to be those things that we've already forgotten you wrote, because they've become a part of us -- because they've become background in how we live, how we think, and thus are completely invisible to us at any given time.

I think the answers will be useful, even if they don't exactly represent the set of "most frequently useful things from OB" but instead the set of "most frequently useful among the very memorable and surprising OB posts".

Maybe Eliezer asked about the first set fully expecting to get answers from the (still useful) second set.
