like make it backwards? no way, thats such a pain in the ass. have you ever tried to make sense of comments on youtube? (im talking about the format, not the fact that everyone who posts on there is apparently retarded)
the majority of my clicks on a thread are initial clicks, rather than looking at it for a third or fourth time, so i would be annoyed if it was the other way. The numbers aren't that bad...they just involve a more precise click.
