 Replying to [comment:31 helen]:
 > I spent months of my life poring over this as the feature lead, and
 interestingly nobody has ever stopped to ask me directly about post
 formats since.

 I'll make sure to ask you next time we are in the same physical location.
 This is a feature I have a great interest in both historically and for the
 future, and I would love to have a conversation with you about both where
 you would like to see it go and how we can move the feature forward.

 I stand by my original claim that in its present state this feature
 creates serious confusion and frustration for users, but I am equally sure
 we can not only fix it but improve it to the point where behavior is
 consistent. It's possible that process starts with more clearly defining
 what the different post formats should do on the front end, and I have
 ideas on that front, but I'm not entirely sure where to start.
