I'm curious as to what the numbers are on this.
Do you prefer reading in the order of time, preferred by TODD!!!?
Or do you prefer reading things half backwards?
(Ok, no judgement either way.)
And are there merits to real-time updating?

Some rabble-rouser could select both oldest first and newest first, if he or she were on the warpath to destruction.

I've said this a few times on the board, but the "reading in the order of time" thing that people keep pointing out doesn't hold a ton of water. Whether you read oldest or newest first, you already are "reading in the order of time" by virtue of the fact you're probably reading the newest two hundred comments, and it doesn't really matter if you read the stuff that was posted earlier in the day or the most recent thing and work your way back, since the comments usually have nothing to do with one another.
The only time I turn on real time updating usually was if we were doing a liveblog on the board, so I wouldn't have to keep refreshing. Sometimes I like turning it on in case some comment that is way down the thread or even on another page pops up, but I do this pretty rarely.

Ah, but voting for both wouldn't affect the percentage between the two if the person was a newest first user.
I kind of agree with the order of time thing when it comes to the replies to a comment, but mostly I just like the silly arguments.
