Posts are backwards why?

[reverend]

I've been reading these forums for some time now, and it still bothers me that the order of the Posts is reversed. It is directly opposite to human habit: reading is usually done from top to bottom. Look around. You will very rarely find a board that uses the same reversed layout that Shrapnel uses.

I understand the original reason behind this, but you can't mean that "we always did it like this, so it stays this way" seriously.
