I am Alexander Baruta, High-school student currently in the 11th grade (grade 12 math and biology). I originally found the site through Eliezer’s blog, I am (technically) part of the school’s robotics team (someone has to stop them from creating unworkable plans), undergoing Microsoft It certification, and going through all of the psychology courses in as little time as possible (Currently enrolled in a self-directed learning school) so I can get to the stuff I don’t already know. My mind is fact oriented, (I can remember the weirdest things with perfect clarity after only hearing them once) but I have trouble combining that recall with my English classes, and I have trouble remembering names. I am informally studying formal logic, programming, game theory, and probability theory (don’t you hate it when the curriculum changes. (I also have a unusual fondness for brackets, if you couldn’t tell by now)
It has been asked that we be gentle in word choice when critiquing the site. Tricycle works hard, and time spent working on LW is donated. You can submit bug reports or PM Matt if you think something has been overlooked or have a better idea.

Sorry about that, the internet connection I am using occasionally does this sort of thing.
If you reload the page after you’ve retracted a comment, you can delete it. (Who came up with this awful interface, anyway?)
