Hi REBEL JOE,
whats top posting? I always hit respond thats the way to it?

Top-posting or bottom/interspersed-posting?
A top-posted article is one where the new text appears at the top of
the article, followed by the text it is replying to. A
bottom/interspersed-posted article has each section of new text
directly beneath the text it is in response to. Top-posted articles
sometimes quote the old text and sometimes don't.
I personally prefer bottom/interspersed posting. It makes it far
clearer which part of your reply corresponds to which part of the
previous posting, and it keeps that section of the conversation in
chronological order (which is very useful for people coming into the
thread cold, or those reading lots of groups and thus needing a bit of
a reminder about the thread.) However, many posters on the MS groups
top-post and no-one gets very worked up about it. I suggest that you
quote appropriately whichever way you're posting - otherwise things
can get very confused.

Hope this help,
