> What is top posting?

Top posting is when you write your reply _above_ what you are replying
to. This paragraph was posted _below_ the question I respond to.

Among other good practices are: Remove what you are not responding to.
Subject should reflect the content of the message. etc.

All these rules makes it easier for the receipient to read your post and
understand the context of what you are writing. Failing this may make
some people annoyed and annoyed people are generally less helpfull.

Take a look at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html or
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/fyi/fyi28.txt

Cheers, Erik
