Hi Tony. Top posting means adding your reply text at the top of the
message. It's a matter of style, and various mail and news programs have
used different styles over time. However, it's a Usenet custom at add
replies at the bottom - that way people can read the context first.

And don't forget _my_ bete noir. People who never edit. No, not
you, yours was okay. I just want to rant about it.

I hate seeing two pages of text followed by a one line response to
_one_ blasted line of the original message. It used to be called the
AOL Syndrome. Or, "Me, too." added in agreement at the bottom of a
long post.
