I'd love to go, but I'm repainting our new apartment on that day and we already have people coming over to help so it's very hard to reschedule. I'll definitely be there the next time if it's announced long enough in advance. Thank you for taking the initiative!

Yeah - I saw it was an old comment... older than the survey. I figured I'd post it - in case anybody who came by later wanted to know.

Very cool of you. At least one person noticed!

Less wrong survey is here

and the results are:

160 (96.4%) were male, 5 (3%) were female, and one chose not to reveal their gender.

Thank you.

Goes to show that nothing goes away on the internet; I posted the parent comment 2 years ago.

Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

It has never mattered to me that thirty million people might think I'm wrong. The number of people who thought Hitler was right did not make him right... Why do you necessarily have to be wrong just because a few million people think you are?
