Oh, crap, the next step was meant to be me sending you my email address and I failed to do that because I was trying to find yours and found it surprisingly difficult. I don’t know how because when I just tried again it took maybe ten seconds. I’m sending you an email right now.
Poe’s law: people say creepy things on LW all the time.

Also: some things the “LW zeitgeist” considers a joke are not that funny (EY facts, etc.)
True enough. But not usually quite so irrelevantly as this one would be if ZankerH were seriously proposing it.
Btw, did you end up reading anything of mine? Shoot me an email if so.
