This is so impressive - kudos to you. Thanks for sharing and being open to questions.

How much overall has this costed you? Do you think that a middle-class person could afford to do what you did?

> So, I laddered up the academic food chain using a little cash (donations), emails, airline tickets, and conference admission. ~2 years after my diagnosis I found myself in a closed-door session called the MPN Roundtable in Chicago with 100 of the foremost experts in the world. No cameras, no transcripts, just some of the greatest minds in the field earnestly debating the path forward to a cure.

Why don't they allow recordings at the MPN Roundtable? It could be useful for others to learn from.

Will this be for fall 2020 or fall 2021?

> After reading many reviews I kept on coming back to the same brand which I had sworn to never buy another item of due to their disrespect of users’ systems integrity, aka the ‘rootkit debacle’

Does Sony really have the best noise cancelling headphones? What brands/models have worked for people here? I've continuously struggled with distracting noises through my education.

> I have a pile of examples, but not the time to elaborate - I'll add them later.

Please don't forget to share, this sounds very interesting to me as a novice.

I have some advice that I think could be great for improving Impact Trail, but your email address isn't in your profile. Would you mind sharing your email address?

If you'd prefer to just email me, my email address is in my profile.

Can you give examples or links that explain what sort of "tweaking" you're referring to?

It seems like giving all of the people in the test area Chromebooks would be a really great move by Google, because people would associate Chromebooks with "lightning-fast" once they advertised the two products together.

Thoughts?

Would you please elaborate on this? Why are curled-in shoulders especially bad?

I think that whether you decide to show the comment scores immediately or not, you should should show them after some delay.

Judging from the replies to your comment, pg, at least some people read old threads. I know I do. I find helpful advice and information from them all the time. I think that people reading these threads should be able to get the benefit of seeing the scores.

The arguments against showing comment scores are almost exclusively about the thread quality. If the scores aren't shown until it's too late to comment, there isn't going to be any noticeable impact.

If I haven't overlooked anything significant here, you wouldn't be hurting any aspect of the site, but you'd be helping some people get more out of it.
