Still, this is a valuable thread for HN in some sense. I'm sure there are at least a handful of other people who would have made a similar mistake, and will be a little more cognizant of these issues after reading this. Hell, I might even be one of them, as I've been chewing on re-incorporating our business as a Delaware C-Corp. I think I would have read all the "fine print" so to speak anyway, but now you can bet I'll be even a touch more cautious and careful than before.

It may not be a thread that's useful to everyone, but it's not outright off-topic or useless when you consider how many startup founders or prospective founders visit HN.
