I’ve been long time thinking about asking whether we could have something like a “Ask the LWers” thread where you could post personal questions in hope to get some helpful rational outside view.
Have you encountered specific instances where asking such a question in the open thread didn’t provoke a desired response? Or are there enough such questions that they clog up the open thread? If so then a new thread sounds useful!

No, I haven’t. Actually, I very rarely check the open thread (though trying to rectify this). I think it might help to have this (and maybe a couple other recurring threads) to be sticky.
If there was enough personal questions it might be worth to have a thread for them. If one of the aims of LW is to improve life via rationality, this is well aligned and likely a useful thing. How to properly ask such a questions would have to be worked out too...
