  June 04, 2008 at 20:41 shaf says he felt exactly the same when I first started with Plurk but not now

  June 05, 2008 at 09:01 ianbetteridge says I felt the same way initially, too. Still feels weird in that direction. Should this be a user option?

  June 05, 2008 at 17:38 shaf feels he would be sick if he has to read from left to right and then scroll back in time in the opposite direction. It could create a time paradox
