I mentioned drawing on my Diary in "A Common Misunderstanding", and I
want to mention it at least twice more in passing in my
AGP-and-Yudkowskian-rationalism post (as a receipt that I had heard of
Yudkowsky before, and for first time I confessed to AGP even to my
Diary). But as long as I'm mentioning some of my Diary entries, I
might as well put up unindexed pages with the actual text. They're not
particularly interesting, but I write in a hyperlink-heavy register
that assumes that ancillary links are unobtrusive.

Currently, "Does General Intelligence ...?" and "Reply to Ozymandias

earlier-on-the-page footnote fragments clobber later ones of the same
number. Including part of the post slug in the fragment solves the
problem, and I'm going all the way to five segments because you could
imagine two "Reply to Author on Topic" posts being on the same page
(even though I'm likely to abandon this plugin (for future posts, or
