As far as Eliezer’s apparently redundant posts go: the QM indicies aren’t exact duplicates of each other: they have different introductions, include or exclude some posts, have different posts bolded or not, &c. One reason for the multiple indicies seems to be to have somewhere to link to when making some seemingly percarious claim about QM elsewhere on the internet—cf. especially the intoduction to the “nonmysterious” index.
As far as the duplicate comments above go: it looks like Christopher double-posted by mistake, and Dmitriy is making a joke.
“What’s the point of these duplicate posts?”
