Sure, if you think that copy is clearer, we can change it. Feel free to make specific proposals in a new _reply_ to this topic. 😉

Wait a second: it already says **new topic** in there:

> the first post in each **new topic**

So basically you’re unclear what “first post” means, you want to mentally ram “reply” in there somehow? Why? Yeah I’m just gonna close this topic and save us both some grief.

You’re welcome.
