Exactly; my blog is in reverse chronological order because it's more of
a news bulletin and less of a discussion thread.  As for the comment
box, why not have it at the top AND bottom.  The top could have the
entire form and the bottom could have just a small quick-reply box, or
perhaps a back to top button (which probably exists already).
