You mean, someone who would have made a positive contribution, but they were intellectually (or otherwise) sidetracked by what they read here? That hadn't occurred to me. (Which is why my statement wasn't "rhetorical dark arts" - I genuinely didn't think of that possibility; I only thought in terms of "LW leads somewhere" or "LW leads nowhere".)
