Bottom posting means putting your reply beneath a copy of the original
posting - the logical place for the convenience of people who haven't been
following the thread.
Top posting is like this ... with the original post beneath for reference.
Considerate posters will snip (delete) out parts of the original post
that
aren't relevant to their reply.

Personally I detest bottom posting since it often involves scrolling
through
reams of quoted posts and answers which I've already seen and that someone
has been too idle to snip!

In truth it really doesn't matter too much - people get worked up about
the
strangest things....

What on earth are you talking about?

If you had posted the original query at the top, I could have followed your
response!
