I don't think it's a great idea. I don't think it was supposed to be.

I don't think it's a great idea.

Ok noted.

I wondered what kind of anon feedback we would get to the site from the regular users in general since this is something we haven't ever done before. Many individuals here have requested anon feedback for themselves and apparently found it worthwhile. Also I wondered what kind of selection we'd be seeing, since obviously there will be systematic differences between those who send annon narratives and those who don't.

I don't think it was supposed to be.

I'm not sure what you mean by this.

I think, the users and the groups of users may be fun. Even too much fun for humans like us and those topics would consume disproportional amount of the LW's time-space.

It's just a temptation which is better to avoid, I think.
