The intrinsic problem is you have a finite amount attention and an increasing number of startups. I'm not sure how much aggregated threads actually solve that (not at all IMO). I think you just let them go at it with Launch HN's and let the upvotes fall where they will. Re: Writing Launch HNs -- My idea: set a lower character limit on what they're allowed to submit and you'll have less to edit. If there's more information that people want to know, create the expectation that they should just ask in the comments.

> If there's more information that people want to know, create the expectation that they should just ask in the comments. To expand on this, it may be the case that less is more here. Making the description be very short (a paragraph or so - no more than 200 words total) and being emphatic that the founders need to be available to respond to comments will result in greater engagement I'm sure. If in the course of discussion, the same question keeps popping up, adding a FAQ or some addendum edits to the body should work to fix that.
