It's worse than that; I've thought of probably upward of a dozen article ideas that I felt momentary inspiration to write, and promptly decided not to because of the Omega-cursed post editor that takes so many more clicks to get to than a comment box and doesn't accept the same markup.
Huh? The 'Create new article' button appears on every page, so long as you're logged in, so it's only one click. Using different markup is annoying, but you don't run into that until you've already written some stuff to add markup to.
My OS and browser are badly out of date with the consequence that article submission doesn't work at all
I am wary of getting sucked in and ending up spending too much time on LessWrong, so this problem is failing to motivate me to get back on the upgrade treadmill. Basically, I'm unclear whether participating in LessWrong is a good use of my time, so I succumb to the temptations of superstition and treat the software problem as an ill-omen and blessing-in-disguise.
Perhaps the parallels to the Great Firewall of China are quite close. The effort required to solve a technical problem is certain, even if quite small. The pay-off is unkown. Lacking vital information one ends up reluctant to hazard even a small stake.
