I have wished for a nearby LW group for a while and will be attending U of Waterloo in January. I will nearly certainly be there.

Good link, typo in title, have a good day, thank you for posting on Lesswrong.

I think I should be less secretive and try to let other people know about problems before coming up with a solution on my own more often.

I suspect this post may have been pointless...

I suppose I would have said nearly the same thing in Moly's position, and would not have predicted that I was being offensive. It would be helpful to be able to empathize with peoples emotions, but I am apparently horrible at it.
