Semi-related: I think it might often be good for people who make linkposts and want to add some commentary to add it in the comments section, with one comment for each point/​question (or cluster of points/​questions) - like I did here—rather than putting all the commentary in the body of the post. I think that the former approach could be better for encouraging discussion and keeping it organised.
(I think I’ve seen other people recommend roughly this, for similar reasons, but I can’t remember where.)
(Of course, there might also be other times when it would be more natural/​useful to put all the commentary in the body of the post.)
I hadn’t seen that, but that’s indeed relevant, and I think what I’d seen was probably Aaron positively noting that a post that won a Forum Prize had done roughly this.

I think it was Aaron that raised a related suggestion—to add points for discussion of a post in the comment section.
