Last time, I figured it out by writing a script that went through my comments until it hit the earliest one, but that only worked because I made an account as soon as I got here. (I probably could have gone hunting for the results of that script, but I didn’t care as much this time around.)
I imagine Yvain has mentioned LW on his blog enough times that it’d be difficult to do an automated solution (but you might be able to just make a list of links to LW from posts, then choose from those).
Thanks for the idea. I know he referenced OvercomingBias for a while before LessWrong, and I read a handful of articles there, but I think my sparse interest in following anything, aside from what was crossposted or linked at Yvain’s blog, makes any claim of seniority a potential false representation of my expertise.
This is sort of the inverse problem of the way I counted the start of my last relationship more than a year earlier than my then-partner would. One good thing I can say for weddings (aside from marriage) is that at least they solidify a date to count as anniversary. So, I suppose now that I’ve finally registered an account, I can count today for future anniversaries between myself and LessWrong.
