I much prefer top posts actually.  (I'm just bottom posting now as a
courtesy to you because I now know you prefer it, hehe)  I find it very
frustrating when I've been keeping up with a thread to scroll all the way
down to the new stuff at the bottom every time.  I like to see the newest,
currently relevant text first, and if I'm not up to date with the thread I
can scroll down and read the history if I want to.  That is the way I've
always seen email done as well.  The current comments at the top and the
thread history below.

Of course if there is actually a consensus here regarding the 'correct' way
to do this I will conform.  :-)
