If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
Notes for future OT posters:
1. Please add the 'open_thread' tag.
2. Check if there is an active Open Thread before posting a new one. (Immediately before; refresh the list-of-threads page before posting.)
3. Open Threads should be posted in Discussion, and not Main.
4. Open Threads should start on Monday, and end on Sunday.
I think one difference is, I am a bit older than a typical LW member, and have someplace to "hang my hat" already. As one gets older and more successful, one gets less status-anxious.
Which is why you're spending time assuring us that you're high-status?
