Apologies for my ignorance on the subject, but what is 'top posting' ?

Definitely. Top posting is lazy and insulting, so you'd think that I would like it more than I do.

However, there are far more relevant issues we could be discussing besides the effort required to scroll through a post while on a mobile device. For instance, how about Foundation-supported Project Ideas!

I'll come back with some good suggestions that don't involve WordPress, I promise ;)
