From: Henry Flam on 23 Mar 2010 15:07 Just like with Usenet, I hate having to deal with top posting in the comments sections of various websites. Some have the courtesy to offer a choice of how the user wants to read the comments, for example, have a place to opt for Read First to Last, or Oldest to Newest. Unfortunately, most do it the other way and I have to plow through a list or 40 lists before I get to the original comment. Is there anything available which would help me out with this. So the next time I want to find out what did the earliest commentators feel about a statement by Rush Limbaugh/Rachel Maddow/Tracey Ullman on their websites. Any universal "automatic top-posting reverter"? Being a newbie I don't know the right terminology, but you know what I mean. But maybe I'm doomed to eternal frustration and that there is a way of doing what I need, instead I have to make the adjustment manually each time, website by website.
