     No, the point is that if they put new messages at the top or/and would   
   have a setting for newest-at-bottom/newest-at-top, that would be plain   
   wrong, because of the reason you found.   
      
     Face it, people might not like many or any things Google, but Google   
   is not stupid, far from it.
