I hesitate to ask this, because the fact that you've been posting for six months without it being asked suggests that I'm missing something obvious. But I'm feeling lazy.

Are you actually Less Wrong?

Nah. I thought it was funny to claim the website's name as my username.

The author of HPMOR is Eliezer Yudkowsky.

I strongly disapprove, since it leads casual readers to believe that you're Yudkowsky and/or some official representative of the website. But I have no authority, and nobody else seems to mind, so that's as far as I can go.

I would put this in the Map and Territory field. Or maybe it's a belief paying rent? Maybe both. I will admit I was rather surprised the name was available.

Eliezer has an account here and is a very prominent figure if you check out the sequences. Check it out, I don't wanna spoil your fun.

Not sure what this means.

Hamish Sinclair has an account at Marathon's Story Forum and is a very prominent figure if you check out the main site, but that didn't stop him randomly switching to a new account as "Godot". Is EY really so much less eccentric, and furthermore universally known to be by everyone but me?

Don't worry, mate. In time you'll figure out the community and their special quirk.
