"... but it is not our model that distinguishes us. It’s the people that make the difference ..." I don't know much about YC since I am of a very different demographic but I would say the same thing about the people who comes to this discussion site (YC News or Hacker News) which I discovered by accident six months ago. I bet most people who keep coming back to YCN do so because of the quality of the discussion (i.e., people) as well. And my observation is that many are coming from all over the World, with very different startup experience, and obviously of different age group (i.e., very few are YC candadates). And I bet it would be difficult to replicate YCN for the same reason that it would be difficult to replicate YC.
