Erg. Whatever. I think it's insane to wade through all the quotes/quotes and more quotes to read something at the END of a message. If people replied at the top to messages, you can still see the order of the "conversation" and easily see what the person had to say.....

Isn't that what is more important, keeping the order of the conversation intact?

No, it doesn't. An email thread is a conversation. You want to read what someone said and then what the reply is. On blogs and news sites, the articles are not related to one another in that way, and when you go to the site you generally want to see the newest things first.

On the other hand, if you really like to see older things first, you can use an RSS reader or aggregator to read your news and blogs. They let you sort the items oldest first.
