Who are your favorite low profile LWers? Are there any LWers whose comments you often find insightful, interesting or otherwise worth reading even though they aren’t among top users or have a lot of karma?
I find Lumifer, despite being abrasive, cynical and sarcastic, quite entertaining and enlightening at times :)
Or maybe even because he is abrasive and sarcastic...
Ahah, I think so :)
It reminds me of a story I heard: apparently in the Chinese culture there’s not a big tradition of thanking someone for their services, so that a guy that thanked the waiter for every course got renamed ‘Xie xie xiaosheng’, Mr Thank you.
Ah, on the contrary I’ve never thought Lumifer could be a she, maybe because of a personal sexist bias or vague reminiscence from high-school Latin that a female Lumifer would be a Lumifera?

I like some comments by other people who use this account. You can’t get more low profile than that.
I like the insights provided by query and Bound_up

I don’t think Lumifer quite counts as “low profile” or “not among top users”.
Sorry, I totally missed that part. You’re right of course. Retracted.
No problem; an easy mistake to make. Well done for retracting so graciously. (Am I being positive enough?)

For some reason my brain keeps insisting that Lumifer is not a “he”, but I don’t know why.
