Read; Top to Bottom or Bottom to Top...?
I visit SE Talk a couple of times a day and always scroll to the bottom first and read/respond working my way up. I rarely click to "Older" posts unless I'm looking for responses to something I've written. How do you approach SE Talk posts; top to bottom or bottom to top? How often do you click "Older"? Do you revisit the "talk" you've posted to?

1. Top to bottom (LIFO rather than FIFO:-)).
2. Not too often, usually when I'm looking for a particular post (although I may just use "search" for that sometimes) or when I was away (ill) for a couple of days.
3. Yes - if I post a question, I'm curious to see answers.

Bottom to top. I follow threads/references. How can you do that the other way?
Why can't you give us a choice?

Top to bottom.
I click older all the time to see what I've missed when I'm away for a couple days and just out of curiosity since I haven't been a regular reader for more than a couple months.
Yes, I revisit the talk I've posted to if I remember.

I work my way to the top and prefer to do so from the recent comments page which holds more topics. I have to hit the back arrow until I've hit the comments on the shorter list. I watch some older threads, especially if I started them. Heck, Cream of Wheat will probably be getting hits into next Christmas....LOL. I've tried using the profile page to watch for recent comments on older threads, but if I've entered any contest the following entries take up all the space. I wish they'd edit random contest entries out.

Top to bottem an if I seether s other responses to a topic then I will pop in to read their responses whether I wrote anything or not. Except for the ones that ask of a recommenation to a certain place to dine at in a city that I am not familiar with or plan on going to in the near future.
