I guess the best way would be to have it user configurable for 'top post' vs 'bottom post'. Frankly, while it's kind of you to thank folks for comments, I tend to doubt that many people who leave comments will return to see if there's a follow-up, it isn't really a forum sort of environment.
Putting the most recent comment on the bottom means that one encounters the oldest first. For folks like Yours Truly who are lucky to get any comments at all, it doesn't matter. But there occasionally are images that are popular and have been up for several years for which new posts at the bottom can mean having to scroll down through multiple screens to see the latest comment.
(I vaguely remember raging arguments back in the 1990s about top posting vs bottom in email.
