Working with the internal event hooks and I noticed, when the topic\_created event triggers so does post\_created. For the initial topic post, wouldn’t the assumption be that a post was created as well?
Is there a reason why they both would fire at the same time? It seems redundant to have both fire at the same time, especially because you cannot create a topic without an inital post.
Ex:
```ruby
DiscourseEvent.on(:topic_created) do |topic|
puts "New Topic"
end
DiscourseEvent.on(:post_created) do |post|
puts "New post"
end
```

It is by design. If `post_created` event skipped in topic creations then the code which only listening `post_created` events won’t be executed.

Ah that makes sense just seemed odd to me at first glance.
