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.
