In the "good old" Usenet News days, all the sensible readers sorted the threads from oldes to newest, with oldest at top and newest at bottom. When posting a response to an earlier comment it only made sense to refer to a comment "above." Now many blogs have really screwed things up by using a default of listing comments from newest to oldest. I like to read these things like conversations, and to know who said what and then who replied what to that, so if I have a choice I usually change the default whenever I'm reading comments there (why don't their cookies record that?).Procopiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17554355440319405363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-4427016550671561312016-09-10T13:52:32.001-04:002016-09-10T13:52:32.001-04:00It's a robot that did the original censorship,...It's a robot that did the original censorship, right?
