Actually when you think about it, most blogs are all in reverse chronical order which to me is the same thing as top-posting and nobody seems to complain about that concept.
Separate blog posts are typically unrelated, so there is no reason they should be chronologically ordered.
How about blog comments? In nearly all blog publishers, they are in chronological order.
I agree, one blog post + comments is more analog to one mail thread. So I like to have the same order as in blogs : threads / blog post in reverse order (most recent on top) , but inside each of them, bottom-posting / chronological order. Actually when you use a thread view, you usually get a chronological order for all mails inside a thread. If you combine that with top-posting, its a bit weird.
